@Finchee try not to worry, from
What I have been told it is quite normal to have light spotting on and off. If it becomes heavy and you have severe cramps then you worry. Are you on progesterone? How far along are you? Have they been checking your progesterone levels?

@Finchee try not to stress. I've heard spotting is very common and normal in early pregnancy, more so in IVF pregnancies. Have you had your progesterone tested?

Yeh I am on endometrin pessaries 3 a day. I'm 6.5 weeks now. They checked all my levels on Monday they were happy with them I don't have the number though. It looks like it has stopped now, I think it must be irritation from pessaries as came after I inserted one this morning. Have you heard of this before?

I had spotting early on (4-5weeks)
The nurse said to me that there is so much more blood down there that it is easy to knock and cause a bleed. It's very sensitive there.
Keep an eye on it and if it gets worse call them. If it's very light spotting you should be ok xx
No one ever likes to see blood, I can understand your concern @Finchee

BT results are in I'm officially pregnant!! Level is only 57 but it's only 15dpo so still early.

Progesterone is 24.4 so I need to use my crinone plus a 100mg pessary twice a day.

Going back on Monday for follow up BT.

Congratulations @nattie84 xxx
Wonderful news

@Finchee I'm sure it's just irritation then. I've heard of it happening. I've only ever used crinone though so haven't experienced it with pessaries. Sounds like your progesterone levels are all good.
I'm sure your scan on Monday will go smoothly and bring you that reassurance xx
@nattie84 that's awesome news. Congratulations. Can't wait for Monday's news.

@Finchee it sounds like it's all fine, I wouldn't worry at all. @nattie84 congratulations, wonderful news.
AFM am feeling rather queasy, most of the time, but the dull cramps have definitely subsided. I still get the odd sharp pain or niggle, but no full on cramps. I really hope it's all ok. I have my scan on Wednesday and I am so so anxious. I've never got to hear a heartbeat in my 3 previous pregnancies, and it's all I want. Please let there be a heartbeat. Does anyone know what the chances of having a blighted ovum are? I'm so terrified!

@Finchee I had quite a bit of bright red spotting between 5-7wks. It was very worrying! I totally understand how you must be feeling. Anyway try to take some comfort in knowing it's very common! All the best for Monday's US! Xx

@Finchee I had quite a lot of bleeding in my previous pregnancy and I now have a healthy 3 year old so try not to worry it's quite common. It looks like quite a few of us are having scans next week! Mine is on Tuesday and I'm praying I see a heartbeat! Afm I've just received a letter from my fs with details such as ovulation date and due date but I'm a little bit confused. Ovulation date is obviously the date I had egg retrieval so I thought the due date would count as being 38 weeks from that date, but they've listed mine as being 2 days later. Now it wouldn't normally matter to me, but their due date is my ex husbands birthday (whom I despise) and I REALLY don't want to have to think of his birthday when I think of my babies due date for the next 8 months. How has your clinic calculated your due date? I've even checked a few due date calculator sites and when I use the egg retrieval date as the ovulation date as they've written, they all show a due date that's 2 days earlier than what the clinic wrote. Do you think I should ask them why they calculated it like that and ask them if they can give me a letter with the proper date that I can take with me to whoever will be providing my care after I move on from the clinic?
