Spotting During 2WW After IVF

Hi There,

I had egg transfer on Monday 20 April. On Sunday 26 April I started having very slight dark brown spotting vaginal bleeding. It has continued on and off since then. The spotting has been extremely light. Only noticable when I insert pessaries, or slightly when I wipe myself. In fact, yesterday it was extremely minimal.

Also, I have had cramping too although this has eased off. Not bad at the moment but can still feel sort of ache type feeling. It feels like cramping before AF due to arrive.

My pregnancy blood test is Friday 1 May.

Does anyone have any suggestions what could be causing this, and I would appreciate your sharing your experiences during this 2WW period.

HI Daizy01, well it looks like we are both playing the waiting game! I had my embryo transfer on the 22nd...

I remember having a bit of spotting with my first pregnancy, I rung the Frteility Clinic and they didnt seem overly worried about it... it could just be implant bleeding....

Man, I hate the 2ww period! Im soooo nervous about my BT on Sunday .

Do you have any other symptoms yet?? I had a few
twingey pains last week but that seems to have finished now... other than that... NOTHING!

Im a bit like you too... only have a few little niggley pains and thats it! I cant remember if I had any early symptoms with Ryan... the only one I can think of is the spotting.... well I suppose everyone is different ah!

Yeap, will def keep you informed.... Good luck for tomorrow, will be thinking of ya! Lots and lots of babydust coming your way from my special little guardian angel Ryan

yay - congrats

Thanks girls.

Look forward to hear how you get on Sarahlou.

Mummymegs, you will get a BFP this year.

All the best.

Well its bad news guys!! Im so pissed

So sorry to read your news Sarahlou, I hope your taking extra special care of yourself and your DH over the next few days, and hope you start to feel better soon.

No Mummymegs it isnt....

This is the second time it has worked. We have had 2 perfect embryo thaws and transfer and it didnt work!! I know Im probably being a drama queen cause there are so many other out there who have tried so many more times than us, Im just so puzzled to why it didnt work for us? Our first ever embryo took straight away, maybe it was begginers luck!? Im just SO over bad news all the time!!

We have decided we will give it another go if my AF turns up (which most of the time it doesnt because of PCOS) and in the meantime we have an appointment with our Private Specialist on Friday to see if he thinks my endo may need another clean up to give us a better shot! God I hope he says no! thats not a nice op to have done.... We just dont want to keep trying and waste the * embies we have left!! does that make sense or do you guys think Im over reacting about the whole thing??

Hi Sarahlou,

Wishing you all the best for the 2WW, hope it flys by for you and you get the best news ever at the end of it.

I have just stated my first TER this month (today) so will be in the dreaded 2WW in about two weeks I think, not sure exactly how long it takes, I think I'm on a manufactured cycle as I started taking the pill today, or is that normal?

Take care

Hi Sarahlou, I had to wait till AF arrived and then on Day 2 started taking Progynova, the nurse rung me today and said they will send over a schedule next week, so I really have no idea what I'm doing at the moment, oh well I guess they must know!

And no, I had early miscarriage in Feb from my first IVF cycle so had to wait for two full cycles before I was allowed to try a TER, the waiting seems to have been soooooo long.

And I know what you mean about the 2WW, its a tough time, hang in there, I have my fingers crossed for you it is third time lucky!!!
