I know after Ivf pains can be normal. But if the pain one sided an ectopic pregnancy is always the worry. I don't know what sort of ivf treatment you've had, but I'd ask you medical team if they can assure you it's not that. If they can't I'd ask for a scan if not go via ur gp

When I found I was pregnant in the first 3-6 weeks I got cramps quite often and some spotting, which was usually brownish pink. It worried me terribly but everything was fine and I have my baby now safe and sound :) it's usually your uterus adjusting to the foetus as even at this early stage it is beginning to migrate upwards. And spotting can be the reminance of the implantation. Provided it's not bright red and looking like a period you should be perfectly fine, but best to get it checked out if at any point you are concerned as they may offer you an earlier scan. Good luck :) xx

Many thanks for the advice. I've been to the doctors he referred me to the early pregnancy clinic. They undertook some scans and although they obviously can't see a heartbeat due to timings they were able to advise that the sacs were the right size for my timings. Seems I have two at the moment! I still have a little bit of pink brownish bleeding on and off. The clinic has booked me in for more scans this next week to keep an eye on the growth of the sacs and have advised bed rest for two weeks.
