Thought Iād reach out on here for some support, advice and/or experiences. I had a FET last week - making me 9DP5DT. It was a blastocyst day 5 transfer. So I am on day 9 of 2ww! I started bleeding 2 days ago - it is now Friday. It was brown spotting to start with - barely there but now is more pale pink and sometimes a bit of red. It is more frequent now, but definitely not getting heavier so far. I have had mild on/off cramping and lower back pain, similar to period, so I expect my bleeding to get heavier, but it has not. Thank God! I am confused as to what is going on! š«£
Has anyone had this experience? I am not testing until next week as Iād like to try and stick to what the nurse has said and wait until Day 14.
Any similar experiences? X

oh wow I am 9dp fresh transfer! Iāve had similar if not the same symptoms as yourself. I had some brown spotting yesterday but it was not much at all so Iām not sure what that is. I have sore breasts and today I am so tired but that might be end of week tiredness. I wish you all the luck!! My test date is 7th May. Iām so scared to test. Iāve been told that the symptoms Iām experiencing may be from the cyclogest so donāt know what to think.
Awww! Hello š itās actually so nice to be on this forum I was reading messages all week but never posted until today!
Yep day 9 for me also. I started brown spotting Wednesday (day 7), on/off and VERY light pink if not brown - now I am still bleeding after 2 days but I spoke to the nurse this morning who said as long as it doesnāt get heavy, I donāt need to worry! Which thank God so far it hasnāt. I am not sure tbh I think it may be my period trying to break through as Cyclogest apparently can kind of prevent it from what another nurse saidā¦ I am definitely tired also and have back pain today all day and cramping, but the sore breasts for me subsided a few days ago.
Itās quite stressful isnāt it as we all have different symptoms and donāt know whatās going on. My test date is May 8th. Had your bleeding been still spotting? Brown spotting or light pink is a good sign ā¤ļø
I only posted today too for the first time! But like you Iāve been reading through others experiences. Sometimes I tell myself I shouldnāt because it gives me a little anxiety, other times itās reassuring so here I am still reading through lol. My brown spotting was yesterday and itās all stopped now. It was so light, only noticeable on the tissue paper a few times. Nothing at all since. I definitely have lots of potential symptoms but definitely donāt want to raise my hopes. I have had 3 failed IUI but this is my first IVF. I hope we get lucky together x
Oh sounds really good for you!!! If you just had some spotting and nothing since then sounds like might be implantation spotting! Thing is itās quite tricky bc some women donāt even have any bleeding, some have a little like you, and some have it for up to 3 days. My friend had it similar to me and now she has a baby girl of 7 months! So you just never know. We had a fresh transfer too it was a 4AB grading so quite healthy! Yeah fingers crossed for both of us! But I donāt like getting my hopes up either so I am just trying to accept it could or could not be positive!
I had spotting pink and red at day 6 and 8 after transfer. It stopped after those two episodes and all was ok at the 7 week scan. The nurse saw little haematoma around the pregnancy and said itās just where the embryo attaches and this can cause spotting. Good luck šš hope everything goes smoothly xx
Hi I am so happy for you! Congratulations on the pregnancy š so I have been spotting since Wednesday - it is happened nearly every time I go toilet but it is not heavy. I hope you all donāt mind but Iām going to attach some pics of my bleeding - I know itās TMI. I am still bleeding and having period like pains but itās tolerable. Iām just really hoping I still have a change but not feeling very positive tbh! Xx
It is so terrifying, I am trying to switch off and be positive but itās been so difficult since the bleeding started. Did you have frequent bleeding in those 2 days? My concern is that I am bleeding every time I go bathroom. It either comes out in my urine stream as pinkish blood or when I wipe or both. Sometimes there are red little bits too! Sorry TMI
God willing all is ok! Think Iāll just do a pregnancy test by Sunday. I donāt think I can wait much longer Iād rather just know if itās good or bad! X
The bleeding doesnāt really tell you much without doing a test Iām afraid, Iāve had bleeding with negatives and upped progesterone (this normally stops your period so if you have bleeding with a negative then it can be a sign you need more next time), Iāve had bleeding with positives and it be an early miscarriage/chemical and Iāve also had bleeding with a positive that was my little boy. You can also get some bleeding from the pessaries causing irritation no matter the outcome of the test. Ive always tested by day 8 though to know whatās happening as thatās helpful to me but I know it isnāt the way for everyone so I guess what Iām saying is without a test there is just no way of knowing Iām afraid but it defo isnāt always a period in my experience š¤š½š¤š½š¤š½ xx
Hi itās very hard for me to think itās not a period after this morning as I had a bit more blood - I wouldnāt say heavy but the blood was quite red. I donāt know if this is due to being asleep for 7 hours as the blood accumulates and will be pink on top of pink on top on pink etcā¦ bc so far Iāve had pink bleeding and not much of red apart from some bits in here and there.. very hard to stay positive at this point but I will try! I was on Cyclogest 400mg rectally - was it same for you? Xx
Yeah I was on cyclogest 200mg twice a day (vaginally) and I have added lubion and now donāt bleed before test day. With my little boy though it was a hematoma so no amount of progesterone would have made any difference. If you are taking rectally itās not likely irritation. If you donāt want to test all you can do is wait and see I can understand why the bleeding makes you loose hope but there is just so many people who get ot, especially with IVF, and itās not always a period xx
So I am bleeding today like I would on a period as in itās quite dark red and a bit heavy. Surely game over rightā¦ when I had my FET last week Wednesday the doctor had issues getting the speculum in and had to put it in at a different after trying multiple times.. I went to empty my bladder a bit to try and help and saw some blood (not a lot) which she then told me was normal as she was having trouble putting it in.. hubs thinks maybe that could cause the bleeding but surely not as the bleeding started a week since procedure.. I definitely think this is a period!.. youāre right there are many reasons one could bleed but when itās period like blood color and heavier then implantation then surely it is most likely that? X
I had spotting then mild flow for 2 days with cramping at 7dp5dt. I thought I was out as the pain was quite intense but I tested at 9dpt and it was a strong bfp. He is now eating his breakfast! Good luck x
Aww thatās lovely!!! Late congratulations but congratulations š when you say mild flow how much blood are we talking? I wore a pad yesterday to trial it out so I could see how much blood it actually is. I attached pic below so sorry if itās tmi!!! Xx
