Bleeding but positive test

Pholover1 profile image

I'm currently 10 days post transfer, my OTD isn't until Thursday but I've been bleeding since Friday so thought I'd test to see if I can work out what is going on. My test came back positive but my bleeding has slowly got heavier since Friday. Anyone have a fairly heavy loss but things worked out?

It's bright red blood but seems more watery than period blood would be.

Just looking for some hope really!

Maybe you need to top up your progesterone... some extra progesterone won't hurt I think, but might help (I did this (on my own) when I spotted brown 8dp5dt), today I'm 14dp5dt, positive beta. I also called my clinic and they told me to include progesterone injections alongside pessaries. By the time I managed to buy the injections, spotting had already subsided.

I would suggest to maybe speak with them....in my case when I've got pregnant around week 5 I started bleed sooo much, a massive clot drop in my hand....I freaked out....when I went to the hospital I was told that it was an internal haematoma....I am not saying that it is your case but there might more reasons for bleeding.

I've spoken with my clinic everyday since the bleeding began and just end up with the answer of keep taking cyclogest and wait until test day on Thursday! Super frustrating especially when it was them who said to call back if the bleeding got heavier!

I know!!! When I started bleeding there was lots of blood in several occasions and when I was going to the doctors they were looking at me like....if I was overreacting....Well finally a week ago I've got a BFP and this morning I woke up and I've found some brown spotting🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ could we just have a break??? Don't we all go through so much to get pregnant that once we do it should smoothly

I know from experience this is pretty scary and confusing! From what happened to me it can go either way, one time it was an early loss (and I needed to up my progesterone the next cycle) but the 2nd time it happened to me was a hematoma where I bled constantly until 10 weeks with 3 major bleeds involving huge clots but still had a healthy little boy! If you are still testing positive on test day phone your clinic and hopefully they will do an HCG blood test to see what’s going on. My clinic wouldn’t do anything until test day (there’s nothing they can really do at this stage anyways tbh) Sending you a big hug! Xx

Thanks for that, I've tested again this morning and the test was super faint compared to yesterday so definitely a loss. Means we've got 1 round of stumps left.

I’m so sorry 😢 the good news (although it doesn’t feel like it now) is implantation happened so conditions and timing were right so halfway there 💜 xx

I had heavy red watery bleeding 7 weeks after transfer. I got an internal scan and baby was fine - it was a ruptured blood sac (which is fairly common after a FET). I'm now 21 weeks pregnant with my little boy. Hoping it's good news for you X

So strangely enough I tested again this afternoon as I'm just very perplexed by it all and the test was darker than this morning's! So who knows 🤷🏽‍♀️
