Period after ivf failure

Hi everyone hope you all are well. I had a failed ivf in August my first period was normal a bit heavy but the same length. My second period which should be this week has consisted of spotting and no pain. I think it’s a period ? How likely would it be implantation bleeding? Anyone else experience this during a failed ivf ?

Hi Shazzyb. Your cycle can take up to 3 months to return to what is normal to you. Should you continue to have some spotting before a period, then it might be down to a short luteal phase, which can be checked with a blood test. Hope all soon settles. Diane

What does it mean if you have a short luteal phase ?

Hi. It means your womb lining is probably not building up sufficiently. Diane

i normally have a thick lining my pinning was 9mm before embryo transfer. Let’s see what this cycle brings

Hi We do aim for anything over 8mm before transfer. Diane

Does that mean my lining was a good thickness ?

Hi. 9mm should be fine. Diane

My second period after a failed cycle always took a while to show up and that seems to be pretty common so you may just have some spotting on the lead up to your period but I guess if you have been trying then you never know.xx
