Male vs female infertility

Male vs female infertility

Hi there, I myself am not trying to get pregnant, but my big sister is, so I want to find out as much as I can to try and help her out. I get worried that if she finds these sites she'll get  herself more stressed. I just have 2 questions.
1. She's is bleeding a little bit 5 days after IVF transfer. Well not really bleeding, but she said something about finding blood on an applicator. Is this ok or is this a bad sign?
2. It is not my sister that has problem, her husband has odd shaped sperm, which makes it hard. So it has obviously fertilised and the transfer has been done, I am just wondering, does anyone know if it is more likely to work for her seeing as she is fine?
Oh sorry, one more question. Her boobs were rock hard about 2 days ago. Does anyone know what that could mean? Sorry for my limited knowledge on IVF, I don't really understand the whole process. I was just hoping someone could help me out with these questions. Thanks.

I've never done IVF either. I've just read about other peoples. I think bleeding 5 days after transfer may be implanation bleeding. Hopefully that's what it is. I hope this works for your sister. Good luck to her :)

My RE told me that if it was male factor, and the eggs did fertilize that our chances for success were better. Good luck, all of her symptoms seem normal, unfortunatly you just have to wait it out :(

This all seems normal the rock hard boobs are from the progesterone suppositories she is probably taking via an applicator. Some blood is normal due to the retrieval process.
