13 P Retrieval.. on Vaginal Progesterone..BLEEDING

September 22, 2008

Dr's-

I have my Retrieval ( IVF+ICSI) 13 days ago and this morning I woke with some bleeding.. I am on progesterone suppositories~ Crinone 8%

1) Is this my period?

2) I was under the impression when one is one vaginal progesterone, AF would not come

Please Advise

BUMP for DOC'S, or Ladies.. Please Help.. :)

Some women still bleed through the vaginal progesterone. I would go ahead and have your blood pregnancy test done today and if it is not positive then stop the progesterone. Good luck!!!

My BETA is not scheduled until Wed. with the RE.. I called them to let them know.. the bleeding is brown in color, I know that means old blood.. however I took a HPT yesterday and it was negative.. I am not getting my hoped up at all.. However is this common?

Caryn, I start my AF while on the suppositories. It is a common occurrence for me.

September 22, 2008

Kan, so no need for the Beta??, Is this is AF ?? I am bleeding , not spotting.. your oppinion?

September 22, 2008

Gosh Caryn, I really hope it's not your AF, but if you say you're bleeding, I don't know. Has it turned from brown to red and is it a flow or just when you wipe? What did your RE say when you called them? (((((((big hugs Caryn!!!))))))))

September 22, 2008

Sar2222. They have not called me back.. Its there when I wipe and on my sanitary napkin.. so its "flowing" not gushing or anything, but its pretty red now.. I am just confused as I have never gotten AF BEFORE the 14 DPO mark.. However if you count the days between cycles, today is 28 days since my last AF so it makes sense.. Its hard to take as the RE assured me the egg we put in was awesome and he talked me out of putting 2 in, and I really wanted 2.. but he was soo soo confident it would be a good viable egg..

I am not cramping, but am not trying to kid myself either.. oh well..

hai caryn i really wish and pray it is not ur AF but i dont know about IVF when i did IUI even when i was on progesterone i got my AF on 12dpo and i called my doc and she asked me to stop it and come in on day 3 it happened all the 4 times i didnt even last till my beta test....i never used to spot just started bleeding usually brown at first then red...

September 22, 2008

Well, try and hang in there until you hear from the RE. I just don't know what to think cause I'm not experienced at all with the IVF...

I hear ya on wanting the two eggs put in but hey ya never know, this could all turn out okay still. I'm praying so hard for you. I want this BFP soooo badly for you!!!

September 22, 2008

Angee, thats exacly what has happened to me.. this is the first time for IVF for me and I have always got to the 14 DPO day sometimes 15 DPO..never 13 DPO, this is my first time with vaginal support.. But I know in my heart this is probably AF and really there is no need for me to go in for the BETA, especially if its Wed and I am still bleeding, my AF only lasts 2-3 days any how...

I would still go get the beta done but it probably is AF. Some women do have bleeding early on though. I hope this is the case.

September 22, 2008

thanks Kan, but with a negative HPT yesterday and bleeding today.. no need to keep "hope"

I called the RE and waiting back to hear

September 22, 2008

i think that you RE will make you come in for testing anyway, even with the bleeding. Mine wouldnt let me go off the progesterone until i had a negative beta test.

Im sorry - i know how hard that is :(

September 22, 2008

Caryn- Im so sorry. I started AF while I was on oral progesterone before? I dont know if that is pertinent here or not- ?

Im still praying for you! HUG

September 22, 2008

Yes, Chels you are right, the nurse just called.. she said I had to continue the prometruim, but to be :cautiously Optimistic" she said its rare that one bleeds on the prometrium, but it does happen.. and since the color is brown to red(like brick colored) she said could be my AF but could not be and since its not gushing and I am not cramping, that I still have to keep the BETA appointment on Wed..Possible that it is from implantation.. but I told her its a bit too late for that..but she said could nto be..whatever, I am not stupid!~ I know a late implantation does not indicate anything good anyhow.. and its def. not spotting. I told her I am not confident, and she said not to rule anything out just yet.. oh well, now I have to wait until Wed..thanks

September 22, 2008

Thanks Lori- I am pretty sure we all know whats happening.. but I am following the doc's orders because she said I can't count from my last AF becuase they were controlling my system so even though today is CD 28 for me.. it does not work like that with IVF ?? What ever.. I am just going to get the BETA on Wed like she suggests

Caryn...I am sure this is so hard on ya but please don't give up! Even if this does not produce the results you want, please don't give up! I am kinda shocked they are wanting you to wait until Wednesday though...they should put you in today for the beta!

September 22, 2008

I am sorry Caryn, I have my fingers crossed it's NOT AF. "THINKING HAPPY THOUGHTS" Hang in there.

September 22, 2008

Yes sound confusing and frustrating! Ill keep praying- and weds will bring all the answers I guess!

September 22, 2008

I'm sorry Cayrn. I understand what you mean. Maybe it is AF. I would take it easy and wait to get blood betas. If you are blood will show. Good Luck.

September 22, 2008

thanks, the nurse was cautiously optimistc.. but with me I like things staight up.. no sugar coating, it only makes things harder..I will be floored if I am pregnant, I took a HPT yesterday and it was negative so I know there is really no point but they insist I wait until Wed. for the Beta..

September 22, 2008

I like it straight like you Caryn! I like someone to just say whatever they think- I always am telling the doctors... TELL ME WHAT YOU REALLY THINK- I totally understand needing it that way.

I also, which I wish I wasnt, am a hope for the best but prepare for the worst kinda person- so I think you are prepared and you're tough and have picked yourself up lots of times before.... and if you're wrong, OH THE CELEBRATING we will do!

(((((((((((Hugs))))))))))

You are strong and tough- know that, and we are all here.

September 22, 2008

hang in there caryn go for the beta atleast the RE will have some answers what went wrong in this cycle ...

September 22, 2008

Im wishing you the best Caryn, and I hope that it stays the color it is, and is just late implantation bleeding, not late implantation.

You guys worked so hard for this, and I really want this for yall! Lots of love sweetie and big hugs!

September 22, 2008

Caryn, I just wanted to add, that I really admire you and your DH, you are such a strong woman. You have been through so much, and you deserve another baby after everything you've went through. I do hope that the bleeding stops, and your preggers, but like you said you took a HPT, and it was a BFN. But just think that you do have some GREAT frozen embros, so this isn't the end of the road!

Good luck, and I wish I was there to give you a great big HUG!
