Infertility

IVF and spotting (saiw)

I am doing my first IVF and I am 8dp2dt and I spotted a tiny bit this morning. Is this normal, bad/good? I don't have much hope.  I always get AF 14dpo, but do you get AF being on progesterone suppositories or does it come when you stop taking them? I actually tested this morning, but I don't know why.  I am early and I don't feel pregnant.  Now I am just in a depressed mood...i don't know why I do that to myself.

Re: IVF and spotting (saiw)

  • I just went through this.  Unfortunately my cycle was unsuccessful BUT that doesn't mean anything - the nurses and my RE all told me that spotting during an IVF cycle is so, so common.  Your hormones are being completely manipulated.  I think I heard 50% of IVFers spot.  And it's too early to test!  GL!

  • Unfortunately my experience with spotting ended in a BFN (IVF#1) but my RE told me it is very common for IVF patients to spot during the 2ww and early pregnancy. Many many women on these boards have spotted during there 2ww and have gone on to get a BFP. GL!

  • Spotting is normal, especially on suppositories as it can irritate your cervix a bit. 

    You may have to stop the progesterone for your period to come if you are not pregnant, but some people will get it before stopping.

    10 dpo, is still early for a BFP so don't give up hope!! I never felt pregnant, I just never had symptoms and pregnancy was not how I imagined it at all!  

    Good luck 

    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.

  • I took an hpt at 5dp5dt and got a positive.....a few dayslater i did start spotting for about 3 days....so i guess thats positive right?  and also i STILL don't really feel pregnant, never had sickness, boobs never hurt much etc...so hang in there!  You're still in the game
