Spotting while on Progesterone Suppositories

Hi.  I've had my transfer on June 3 (15 days ago) and have been on 3 200mg progesterone suppositories since per day.  I've had clear discharge since, except yesterday it starting being a bit yellow-brown with a few darker specks (still very light in amount-only need panty liner).  A  lot of info I know, but I'm really nervous.  This is our first IVF and we so want it to go well that every little change is noticed by us.  Could this be normal, or is it a not so good sign.  I go in for a pregnancy test on Friday, but I'm worried.  Any advice would be really appreciated.

Thanks so much.

I had my transfer on June 6th.  I began spotting a few days later and got paranoid.  My nurse said it's to be expected with the progesterone suppositories which I insert morning and evening.  Irritation can cause spotting.  Some days it seems like more spotting and the color is deeper.  Other days, it's brown.  I am trying not to worry.  I also have experienced changes in how my breasts feel.  One day they're very sore and then a few days later - not so sore.  I really don't know.  I will have my hcg test done on Monday, June 23rd to see if I am pregnant.  I will certainly hope the best for you!  Stay encouraged!  Sashalake~

I also get yellow stuff from the suppositories themselves - could it be from them?

Hi.  I don't know whether you could be pregnant or not, but maybe call your doctor to see if you should continue the progesterone after spotting.  My doctor specifically told me to use the progesterone through cd30.  Stop if I get spotting or AF & restart if I later get an HPT.  I know we're all different, but that's what my instructions were.  Best of luck to you !!! :)

I was having breast tenderness earlier on, but for the past few days, I haven't had breast tenderness or any pregnancy like symptoms...does this mean that I'm less likely to be pregnant?  Thanks again for your input.
