positive beta :) but light bleeding :(

MrsKario · March 2010

Went to the RE this morning 13 days post IUI because I had 3 positive HPT. The good news is that my beta is 152 and progesterone is 24. I am not on any progesterone supps or injections. I wish I could be over the moon - we didnt expect this to work. I am 40 and we used frozen sperm - puts the success rate around 10-15%ish. This was a hail mary attempt because we cant afford to do another IVF. IUI is covered by my insurance but IVF isnt.

The bad news - started spotting 10 days post IUI, increased to a light AF (red and brown) for the last 3 days. I have been bleeding for the last 4 days, it is very similar to period like bleeding. A little lighter, but similar.

Nurse has assured me that some women have this and everything works out BUT I had a similar pattern with my IVF BFP that resulted in a M/C.

I hope this is "normal" bleeding and everything works out

If this helps at all...I thought I had A/F after my IUI, bled 3 days...not in a row...and last week for some reason I took a test and it was positive...this was more then 6 weeks after the IUI and it was a BFP...saw a heartbeat and everything...so keep the faith!!!!

I guess that is possible. I had 2 - 3 follicles at trigger. It is too early to tell anything - since I am only 13 days post IUI. Im not even technically 4 weeks preg.
