Spotting/Bleeding in 2WW - period or other reason

Post by dcu917 »

Hi,

Anyone get spotting/ light bleeding in the 2WW? I am testing on 11/15 and have been spotting since Sunday, 11/11. I have been using the progesterone suppositories 3 X per day. This is my second IVF. My first ended in early miscarriage this past summer. I did not have spotting with that one before test day. I am wondering if this is my AF wanting to rear her ugly head and the progestrone is just not letting it happen fully (keeping the lining in tact as much as possible). I am wondering if it could be irritation from the suppositories, too. I think it is too late in the cycle for implantation bleeding. I only had one embryo transferred, too, so it can't be that one is detaching. Any ideas/experiences/opinions???? Please let me know what you think even if it's not good.

Thanks!

Hello , I know one of the girls from the other board was spotting for a few days before her blood test and the test came out positive .Some people have spotting or even a period when they are pregnant . Unless its heavy I wouldn' worry to much about it . Don't drive yourself nuts over spotting.

Good luck and baby dust to you :)

Hello,
I am also on the 2ww and set to test on 11/15. I have experienced both cramping and spotting. They say it is normal but who knows. I guess we will just have to wait and see. Good Luck on Thursday. Also, If you look on the general forum under Oct/Nov cycle buddies there are 3 of us there all testing on the 15th if you would like to join. :D

CALL YOUR CLINIC. THE PROGESTERONE SHOULD KEEP AF AWAY EVEN IF BFN. HOWEVER, YOU COULD BE PREGNANT & NEED MORE PROGESTERONE. GOOD LUCK!
