Why Was I Bleeding Heavily After An IVF Transfer?
Hi, My wife and I are going through IVF due to MFI. We had two 5 day blastocyst transferred 9 days ago. My wife had a beta test 5 days after transfer and it came back 8.9 positive. The same day she started spotting which turned into a heavy bleed. When we called the doctor he was not in, and the nurse said that it was probably just the progesterone suppository not to be too worried, and had her switch to a different brand. We have another beta test today (9 days after transfer) and are hoping for the best, but are very nervous until we get the results. I have read so may stories with mixed results and the same problem. Is there any hope we are still pregnant?

Hi,
It could be both ways, the bleeding if heavy could mean that implantation has not occured and she is not pregnant.The positive beta could be due to injections given for egg recovery. And its too early to decide ,a repeat beta hcg is required and also you need to stay calm.
Even if she is pregnant ,the chances of miscarriage are slightly higher with IVF.
So please be prepared and still hope for the best.
