First Fresh Transfer, Light Pink Spotting, Negative test, Low mood

My OTD is tomorrow, 26th, but last night I found some very light pink spotting when I went to the loo, so I tested this morning and it was sadly negative. This is my first time trying and I suppose I became overly confident that I was lucky and not struggling with the IVF process too much and got 3 really good quality embryos, so it has come as a little bit of a shock and huge sadness that I am trying to process.

I am trying to stay positive and have 2 more tries to go from the freezer but was hoping if anyone knew why I experienced a light pink bleed last night, could this have been implantation failure?

I am doing this as a 38 year old single woman, so don't have anyone I can really talk to about the feeling of loss who understands. I also know that after the 2 from the freezer I won't be able to try again due to cost.

Thank you

I’m really sorry it hasn’t worked out this time. Try to stay positive as the other two embryos have every chance of success.

What I would suggest is maybe further tests before your next transfer, ERA, ALICE, EMMA, to give yourself the best chance on those last two embryos, especially if you can’t afford a further round after that. X

hi, I had 3 embryos from my 1st round and was lucky for my first frozen transfer to be successful. When trying for a sibling I was super confident and was shocked that my other 2 didn’t work. I struggled to believe that they had picked the only good one by chance first time. however I’ve come to understand that a 1in 3 chance of a ‘normal’ embryo for my age is expected so there is a high chance that your other 2 might be good. Regarding the bleeding, I started bleeding during one of my 2-week waits and for the next one I had my progesterone tested just before transfer and it was low. Apparently alot of clinics are now making it routine to do this - so do ask if you can have this checked. I’m also solo, if you have any questions or want someone to talk to please do drop me a message xx

Thank you, really appreciate your reply. Still hopeful for the other two but like you was hoping I would be able to have a chance at a sibling which I now realise might not be possible. Feel like I was being greedy as will be so lucky if one works.

Thank you re. the bleeding, will ask for the test before transfer and also hope my body might respond better to a FET than the fresh as will have time to heal from egg retrieval. Thank you again xx

hi Tanya

If I were you I would take more eggs out (I did it at 40 and got 5 pgs tested embryos that’s ere normal) and i meantime do it with frozen transfer as you said so lining can be optimum (over 7) progesterone supplements and whatever else your doctor thinks xxxxx
