IVF post embryo transfer bleeding

[angle2000]

Hi,

I am new to this website but very happy to find out that something is available on net to post my questions...

I had 3 miscarriage in past, am 35 years age, pure vegetarian and am going thru my first IVF cycle. There was one embryo transferred on 30th August'10. I have my official blood testing after 2 days - on 10th Sep. I am really going thru depression and frustration as I am seeing some brownish/pinkish blood (only when i wipe) along with cramps sometimes. I also noticed minor clots.

I then rung the clinic and explained the situation. They straight forward said that it might be an unsuccessful IVF cycle and I may experience full period like bleeding in next 2-3 days. I am taking two progesterone tablets three times a day. It was really depressive when the clinic said it could be unsuccesfull IVF, however, when I looked at some of the discussions at this site, I found that this symptom could be considered as normal. Is it true? Should I be still hopeful? I did a pregnancy test myself at home which came nagetive, which is even more frustrative. Should I still wait for two more days for my official blood test?

Please please please reply soon - it would be really helpful.

Hiya
try and stay positive sometimes implatation can cause bleeding but if it gets heavy it may not be a good sign. It was too early for you to test as you were only 10 post transfer.  Chin up and try to keep busy I know it's hard when it looks bad but there have been cases of bleeding and bfp hope this helps take care
