Bleeding 11dp3dt- what happens next?

[Camkid12]

So we had our first transfer a week past Monday. We had 4 eggs, 3 fertilised, only 1 was good to transfer. Nothing to freeze.

Started bleeding this morning, and by tonight I could feel the clots coming out when I pee. Test day isn’t for another 5 days.

What happens next?

Hey, can you call your clinic? They may increase your progesterone or you may need your progesterone levels checking if you’re bleeding so soon? Xx

[Camkid12 in reply to XOXO13]

I tried calling but it was just an answer machine. I didn’t think there was anything they could do so didn’t want to phone the out of hours number. I honestly can’t remember what they said at transfer, but I’m sure they just said to keep taking progesterone even if you bleed.x

[XOXO13 in reply to Camkid12]

I would call the out of hours number incase they advise you to increase your progesterone. I’ve not been in your position before but I’ve come across other ladies that bleed before test day and they’ve tested their progesterone levels of increased the dose.

I don’t really comes next when your bleed early tbh, but I would continue taking your meds until official test day for sure and I wish you lots of luck ☘️ Xx

I would probably take a test just to double check it’s a period and not something else. I have called my clinic as I have bleed most times before test days and the only answer I got is ‘it’s common still keep taking your meds and test on test date 🙄’ for some women the progesterone doesn’t stop them having a period.

7 times it was my period

1 time it was a miscarriage

1 time it was a subchorionic hematoma but I still had a successful pregnancy.

The clinic wouldn’t do anything though until test date. Even the 2 times I had positive tests before then Perhaps yours will be different. Wishing you lots of luck xx

[Camkid12 in reply to Twiglet2]

Took a test and it was negative. Most definitely a period 🙄 I’m sorry your went through this so many times too, it sucks doesn’t it! Amazing that you still managed a successful pregnant though!💖xx

[Twiglet2 in reply to Camkid12]

Sorry to hear it was negative 🥺 lots of self care for you, sending hugs xx

I am in exactly the same position and couldn’t get through to my clinic either.I didn’t think their response would be anything other than keep taking you meds and test on test day so have justLeft it and am hoping and praying for that BFP. It is an awful situation and I really do have everything crossed for you!

[Camkid12 in reply to rachaelj5]

Hey. Sorry you’re going through this too ❤️ My clinic phoned back later and said exactly that, to continue with the crinone gel if I can. If not, phone them back. I did a test esterday and it was negative, but the bleeding is so heavy that I just know there’s not even a chance. I could tell by the tone of her voice that she thought the same! When is tour test day?xx

[rachaelj5 in reply to Camkid12]

I am so sorry to hear that!! Are you going to test again in a couple of days??

I am due to test on Tuesday but feeling very negative about it! This is just so hard and exhausting and at this stage just seems down to luck!! X x

[Camkid12 in reply to rachaelj5]

The whole thing is just torture! I’ll test on Wednesday as advised, but I already know the answer. I’ll keep everything crossed for you though! It’s impossible to be positive sometimes, especially when you’re trying not to get your hopes up 😔 I agree it just seems down to luck. They said my lining was excellent, so either something wrong with the embryo or just bad luck I guess. Just want to move in and start again, it no idea how long I’ll need to wait 🤷‍♀️Xx

[rachaelj5]

I got my BFN this morning! It’s shocking how devastating it is even though I knew what the outcome was going to be. Like you say just torture. My clinic have said they will give me a week to process and then be in touch to arrange an appointment to discuss the cycle but not entirely sure what the next steps after that are! X x

[Camkid12 in reply to rachaelj5]

I’m so sorry to read this, it’s heartbreaking 💔 sending a big hug, even though I know it won’t really help. I think I’m at the angry stage! Angry it’s all been for nothing, angry at having to do it at all, angry my friend gave birth the day I started bleeding, angry my other friend announced she’s having a boy. It’s just sooo unfair. I’m even angry for you that they’re giving you a week to process! Why not just book the appointment?xx

[rachaelj5 in reply to Camkid12]

I get the anger completely. I was feeling it all weekend and then getting angry because I have no one or nothing physically to blame! Just feel completely let down my my body!!

I do appreciate you saying that because I was beginning to think I was being unreasonable with thinking why wait?!?!? The only way to process and move forward is to discuss with the dr and hopefully have a plan to move forward!? I am just going to be over thinking what ifs until then!?! And a week isn’t going to do anything!

Oh god, that is awful, I am so sorry you have had to deal with all that whilst going through this crap and more!!! You have every right to be angry and upset!! Sending you a big hug right back!! I have two friends who are due any day now and as happy as I am for them it is just really unfair and I am terrified every time my phone goes off it is going to be the announcement!! X x

[Camkid12 in reply to rachaelj5]

So I called my clinic this morning after taking the official test (which was negative of course), and they've told me they'll be in touch November/December. There's a 4 month wait between treatments. I honestly have no idea how i'll cope between now and then - 4 months!!! And that's only for a review, god knows when I can start the next cycle 😭 I have a lot of resentment towards my husband right now as he hasn't stopped smoking, and I can't even speak to him as he just gets angry. I'm sorry you have friends that are pregnant too - it's so hard to watch isn't it! xx

[rachaelj5 in reply to Camkid12]

Oh I am really sorry that the official outcome was negative! And I am sorry that it is impacting your relationship this way and you are feeling that way towards him. And I am sorry for keep saying sorry! It’s a word that has started losing impact the more I hear it and say it but I don’t know what else to say! Sending you big hugs.

They aren’t going to speak to you again until November at the earliest!?!?!?!? WTAF

Now I am seething for you!!!! Have they offered any support or counselling in the meantime?!?! That is disgusting. The aftercare in this is just non-exisitance. I get there is only so much they can do and offer but to just be like oh well, good luck. I am speechless!!

Is there anything you can do to take your mind off it? I started cross-stitching and learning to crochet (yes I am super cool) and it has actually really helped me distract myself. I also have certain relaxing playlists I listen to when I am feeling overwhelmed. If that is helpful in anyway.
