progynova & bleed while waiting for FET

hi I wondered if anyone else had experienced this? And should I cancel cycle in case my endometrium lining has now been compromised? I’ve been taking progynova for 12 days have a scan to check lining progress tomorrow in hope for transfer next Thursday, my last two frozen eggs so really don’t want them wasted, but I went for a run yesterday evening nothing too intense a normal run for me, and that has caused some spotting, I’ve had this before when I’m not doing any treatment at all & which is fine when your not waiting to have transfer so now I’m very concerned about my lining they’ll probably tell me to start my progesterone tomorrow too I’m thinking, but I’m wondering if I should scrap this cycle and wait another month, background information is ive just done a fresh cycle which resulted in a sac no baby and had a natural miscarriage and have worked straight off my first natural bleed for this transfer and I wonder if I still have some waste product that my body is trying to rid? Or is this just normal for progynova? Or will the progesterone take over and make sure all my lining is suitable? I know tomorrow they’ll give me good advice but I’m still wondering what others did incase they say go ahead and I’m not sure I should

TIA some much!

Hi, we had a bleed 12 days into our transfer cycle in Dec. Our clinic advised us to get another endometrial scan to see whether it was ok, and if there’s any sign what it was. They said everything looked fine, but when we got to Spain for the transfer they cancelled, they didn’t want to risk it as the reason for bleed was unknown. They replanned the transfer for about 25 days later so there wasn’t a long wait. I stopped the meds, had a period and went straight back on. I was gutted at the time, but it was our 7th and last chance, so I’m glad we waited and didn’t risk it. Speak to your clinic, you want everything to be perfect so you’re not worrying. Good luck x

Yes I’m hoping they’ll give me a really good scan today check everywhere for polyps or cysts then decide from there they may call me back day before transfer as they’re doing research on progesterone levels at the moment so they could scan me again then?

Check with clinic at your scan today if its just spotting might be fine. Maybe lay off the running for a little while and do walking instead

Yes that’s what I’m thinking I’m here now fingers crossed all fine and if my cervix is being a bit sensitive I’ll just do walks now I’ve never had it with just walking thank you 🙏

I had this back in September. The doctor scanned me and could see there was spotting coming from the lining. She said I could go back for further scan to check whether I could start Progesterone but I was personally worried the lining had been compromised so I took the decision to cancel that cycle. It may have been fine and obviously I'll never know but I was too preoccupied with it all and didn't want to be questioning it later on in time. Maybe see what they say at your scan x

so I’ve been this morning I’m day 14 in cycle but suppose that’s fairly irrelevant as they’re controlling my hormones and won’t ovulate anyway but she couldn’t see anything to worry about no cysts etc lining 10.7mm and triple layer so she’s not worried although is going to speak to doctors she said I might have a small blood vessel in my cervix that gets aggravated by exercise as I’ve had this before after exercise so she said everything looks perfect and if doctors are happy to start with progesterone tomorrow, my clinic has increased to two pessaries three times a day a now as it’s felt you can’t have too much progesterone after they’ve done there own research programme recently 🤷‍♀️
