Spotting and cramps 4 hours post transfer

Hey everyone,

I had a frozen embryo transfer yesterday (5AA and hatching). It’s our last frostie so feeling very anxious about it.

A few hours after I got home I started having cramps and then went to the toilet and there was some fresh red blood. I called the clinic and they said to keep an eye on it, but that it’s probably just “trauma and irritation” from my cervix.

I didn’t have any cramps/bleeding in my last transfer, so I’m just wondering if anyone’s had it before and if it was ok?

I have cervical issues (incompetent cervix) so even if it’s just cervical trauma/irritation I’m still a bit nervous 🙈 I have a transabdominal cerclage (TAC) so I did warn them it might be a bit difficult to do (it was a different Dr who did my transfer this time, and the last Dr did a mock transfer during EC). I just feel like they didn’t really listen to my concerns and now I’m all anxious.

Many thanks in advance! ❤️

Hey, I had lots of cramps and a fresh red bleed after my transfer, i was very uncomfortable from the procedure but was reassured it was normal. The cramps went away the day after and I only had that one episode of red bleeding the day of the transfer. It felt like I was starting my period!

Thanks so much for your reply - yes that’s exactly how it felt. I’m so glad that it’s fairly normal. xx

No problem! I found the transfer a bit painful so was expecting some bleeding and cramps. It turned out okay for me and was a success so I wouldn’t read too much into it. Sending you lots of luck ❤️

From what I’ve read hatching embryos are the best type and more likely to implant so fingers crossed for a BFP 🤞x

Ah - thanks so much for the reassurance. So pleased all went ok for you ❤️ I’ve been trying to relax as much as possible, while still having to work! 🙈 I’m on annual leave after today until the 10th, though, and we are going camping. Hopefully that will give me some headspace and some chilled feelings! 😊🤞 xxx

Sounds ideal! I love a camping trip. Enjoy!
