heavy bleeding on 8th day after embryo transfer

Hi, I'm new to this site and I'm on my first ivf cycle. I had my embryo transfer on 17/10/12 and i've been taking the
progesterone. I'm on my 9th day now and wed evening i had spotting like brownish pink blood. then yesterday
(thusrday) morning still same then it turned to a heavy period. I spoke to my doctor and he said it should be a good sign that my period came it means that the embryo is starting implanting however he said my period came early
and its not due in 5 days. So he's not sure if it really works or not but to wait on my blood test this.coming monday.
I'm still bleeding a little bit right now but it's not heavy anymore. I'm now worried that it didn'T work coz  actually had heavy period. Also i tried home preg test and it came up as neg i know its too early but I just hate this feeling of wondering if its all good or not.
is there anyone had similar experience and still got pregnant despite having heavy period just before their blood test? also i have no symptoms of pregnancy right now except for cramps probably period pain only. Hoping someone cannhelp or give anlittle bit of advice.

Hi,
I didn't know if I should write in here or not but it seems it helps so:

1 did a day 3 transfer on the 8th feb. On the 18th á started to bleed heavily! And did for 4 days :( very stressed and sad as I was hoping it would work.

Did a blood test came back as an 8. The nurse told me to do another one a week later. To everyone's surprise it was 450. 2 days later ........ 850 hug.

They think it's ectopic due to the bleeding. A scan is to be done on the 10th.
How am I supposed to wait so long. Can't they see if it is now?

Just like you I bled ....a lot and still a positive.
Good luck. I hope you have good news.

Hi, I'm day 9 after transfer. Started having light irregular bleeding day 8. It turned dark red and this morning there is a little more with gloopy clots.  I'm due my pt on weds and just so worried it's not working.  It's our first time and what an emotional roller coaster it is! Fingers crossed for just embryo implanting x

This is an old thread from 2012, so you many not get a lot of responses. Did you do a 3 day transfer?  Or a 5 day?  When is your beta?

Hello, I wander how are you doing now ? My period-like cramp and bleeding brings me to this site and reading more let me hold on to my hope. I am 11 day post transfer, can understand the wait seemed forever. Though I think everyone is different, besides sharing, the site provides us a platform to vent out Our stress and gain support
