post embryo transfer bleeding

[rmsa]

hi,

I'm just wondering if this is normal and has happened to anyone else?

im 9dp5dt and ive been getting super strong positives on at home pregnancy tests for the past few days. I had severe abdominal cramping about 2 days ago, it wasn't like period cramps but rather like I had food poisoning. yesterday, I had some light brown spotting which is turned into pink spotting today and my pregnancy tests are still positive.

as a side note, ive been on blood thinning injections, steroids, and aspirin daily as well as a prenatal. in my prenatal it says it has 35mg of vitamin k and unknowingly I have been taking that daily. have I been ruining my own chances by taking this prenatal? I just read that vitamin k and blood thinners have adverse reactions.

im just looking for some stories of hope!

Have you discussed your concerns with your clinic about taking Vit K ? Think that would be a good idea as they know your history , results The staining you mention is quite common in the 2WW - the results of increased hormone levels and may be some irritation while using pessaries

Take care

it’s only warfarin that you can’t take vitamin k with.

Are you on clexane?

I was on clexane and aspirin and also had spotting and bleeding for quite a few weeks after positive. It turned out to be a hematoma which is not uncommon with ivf and blood thinners. They made me stop aspirin for a while cause of it.

Hoping it’s just that for you too 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Hey - sorry you’re feeling like this. I had the same thing on my first fresh transfer but it turned into my period. Second transfer was frozen and had no bleeding at all and it was positive, however ended in a chemical sadly but still no bleeding and now I’m in the two week wait after my second fresh transfer and have had spotting again on days 6 and 7 (still a little today too) but I haven’t yet urine tested to know if it’s a positive or if it hasn’t worked again, should get my beta test results early next week.

It’s a great sign you’ve had a positive result though and a lot of the bleeding you get with a positive is usually implantation or something that isn’t actually bad. I’ve done all the googling in the world and nothing gives you a conclusive answer so the best thing you can do is get bloods done to confirm then get them done again 2/3 days later to make sure your levels are rising. I got my progesterone tested at the same time to make sure it was high enough, same with my last transfer.

With regards to your prenatal, I was told to switch from the conception one to pregnancy one after transfer so everything in there should be right but you should speak to your clinic about the blood thinners and if there’s any adverse effect.

Best of luck with this and congrats on your BFP!
