Bleeding after transfer?

Post by Xo'Phoeah »

I had my transfer yesterday around 5:30. I did the 24 hour bedrest thing. Today, I spotted just the tiniest bit, which I attributed to the catheter. But just now, (TMI) when I wiped, there was qite a bit more blood. It's not so much that it would get on my underwear, but it's significantly more than I usually have when I'm not on my period. Is this normal? Last time I had IVF, it didn't happen, but then again, I didn't end up pregnant and I was on different meds.

I'm just worried because our FET embryos weren't very good. But even if they didn't make it, it would still be way too early for this, right??

Hi--

I just had transfer today and my discharge instructions say that spotting to light bleeding is normal.

Good luck to you!

To you as well. Our appointment ended up being a little... strange, so we didn't end up with a lot of advice afterwards. I have an appointment Monday, but that seems like a million years from now.

Chances are it is from the catheter. Stay off of your feet and put a mini pad on. If it gets heavier call your doctor. Good luck.
