Bleeding after Embryo Transfer

[Globalshake_456]

I had my first embryo transfer on Monday (26/2) after my egg collection the week before.Now the two weeks wait commences and I am just constantly anxious awaiting the outcome of the results.

I started bleeding 3 days ago so I've started wearing a small pad so I can see how much blood is coming out. We aren't talking period amounts of blood but when I wipe there is a decent amount of blood on the tissue. I'm becoming increasingly concerned because I feel like the blood is getting slightly heavier each day and it's not making me feel good.

I'm also on Cyclogest twice a day and I don't know whether this is causing the bleeding too?

Has anyone been/currently in this situation that relate and provide a little reassurance? Going on goggle multiple times a day is not putting my mind at ease 😆

hi there, have you spoken to your clinic about the bleeding? Two things they should suggest:

- either a progesterone test to check levels or automatically increase your progesterone dosage

- inserting the pessaries through the back passage to avoid irritating your cervix

Best of luck xx

Hello!

The bleeding started Thursday and I thought initially it was just implantation bleeding. They are closed over the weekend but I will be calling first thing on the Monday to see if there's anything they can do.

I'll see what they say about inserting the pessaries, I really hate the thought of putting them in the back passage 🙈 but if needs must! They did say initially I could do front or back, so maybe I just try back passage tomorrow morning?

I hope it's nothing serious but so much runs through your mind when stuff like this happens and the waiting game is just so horrible 😭 xx

There’s no reason why you shouldn’t try the back passage. It’s not comfortable but at least you’ll see if it’s making a difference with the bleeding.

Sorry you’re worrying, I know it’s hard not to. Keeping everything crossed for you xx

Thanks for your advice, I'm going to give it ago tomorrow morning and see if it makes a difference 😊 I really appreciate the suggestion! Have a lovely weekend x

I’ll be thinking of you. Have a lovely weekend too xx

I'd try speak to your clinic about your progesterone levels. Even if closed there should a phone number for weekend to call. These things are time sensitive I wouldn't wait if possible.
