Trouble TTC

Endometrin - Spotting?

Has anyone else used endometrin supps? I'm on them for the first time, and I've been on them about a week. I haven't had any issues except the occasional cramping when I put it in. (The following is very TMI) Yesterday when I put it in at night there was a little blood on the applicator. It's freaking me out a little. I'm only 4dp3dt and afraid AF is coming. I know spotting is a side effect, but it hasn't happened so far. Could someone please tell me it's probably not AF this early while on progesterone lol? I'm so nervous.

Re: Endometrin - Spotting?

  • I'm sure you're just fine :)  More than likely you wont be able to see AF until you stop the progesterone which will then trigger your period.  The spotting can not only be a side effect but you could have also scratched your cervix or your cervix could just be throwing a temper tantrum.  Any of the above.  AF is very unlikely though so stop that worrying!  :)

  • Thanks. I'm sure you're right. It's always been sensitive. Negative Erika went to AF and Positive Erika went to implantation lol. Logical Erika doesn't exist right now.

  • Oh trust me.....I TOTALLY understand!!  I'm in my 2ww losing my sanity slowly everyday.  I'm going to stick with Positive Erika and keep praying for you :)  I'm sure you're fine and I'm sure I am too....so lets just keep telling ourselves we will be BFP buddies in no time :)

    I'm actually switching off of endometrin for IVF #3 because it irritates my cervix so much.  My RE said that irritation can cause some spotting and it isn't related to AF.  Good luck, hon!

    ~SAIF/PAIF/Everyone Welcome~ 

    Me= 37 and DH = 41 

    Dx: DOR, Endo, APA+ (really high beta 2 glycoprotein antibody and high everything else tested), heterozygous MTHFR mutation, positive for lupus anticoagulant, high FSH, low AMH and both tubes blocked (per HSG on 3/8/11)

    IVF #1 - long lupron (with HGH, intralipids, lovenox and BA); 4 retrieved, 3 fertilized; ET 2 blasts and 1 frozen = BFN

    IVF #2 - a version of antagonist with EPP (with HGH, intralipids, lovenox and BA); 6 retrieved, 4 mature, 3 fertilized, 2 blasts and 1 frozen blast transferred on day 5 = BFN.

    IVF #3 April was postponed to May, May was canceled. June/July was canceled. Had a cyst aspiration and then began IVF #3 in August. ER on 8/22; ET on 8/24 with AH. +HPT on 9/5. Beta #1 (11dpo) = 3; Beta #2 (15dpo) = 29; Beta #3 (17dpo) = 60; Beta #4 (19 dpo) = 118. Heartbeat at 6 weeks 6 days =132.  Lil is here!

    TTC#2:  Trigger + TI = BFN; Clomid + Trigger + IUI = BFN.

    IVF #4:  BCP + MDLF + Lovenox = 7R, 1F = Transferred 1 6-cell embryo on day 3 = BFN

    IVF #5:  MDLF + Lovenox = 4R, 1F = Transferred 1 10-cell compacting embryo on day 3 = BFN

    IVF #6:  (New RE):  Long Antagonist November 2014 (transferred two 8 cell grade 1 embryos and froze one blast) = BFN

    FET#1:  BFN

  • This process would drive anyone crazy! I'm doing my first IVF cycle, and I haven't  had my transfer yet (retrieval was Sunday). Last night, there was some blood on the applicator when I did my Endometrin, and my first thought was "oh god, I'm not pregnant", which the slightly more sane version of me followed with "of course you're not pregnant, you idiot, your embryos are currently in a laboratory!"

    My RE has repeatedly stressed that spotting after transfer does not mean you're not pregnant, and that you will not get your period until after you stop progesterone. Good luck and hang in there!

  • Thanks so much guys. I'm really trying to void the loony bin but I think IVF might drive me there lol. Every cramp, twinge, itch, stomach issue... it's all analyzed haha.
