Hi everyone-
I've been following this blog for a while now and it's a great resource. I'm hoping someone can give me some positive feedback. We had an unsuccessful IVF cycling in January and just did another one. I'm 12 days post ET and am scheduled for HCG test Wednesday. I am doing the crinone gel every morning. Last night I felt crampy and had a little bit of spotting. Today, I have had moderate bleeding and more cramping. I am freaking out. I have never had bleeding before during the 2ww period (this is my 4th IVF cycle; we have a 19 month old daughter but the other two cycles were not successful).
This IVF cycle went extremely well despite my age (I'm 43): we got 15 mature eggs, 9 fertilized and 7 were transferred. I've been feeling pretty tired and somewhat sore (breasts, etc) but have been trying not to read too much into it.
With the bleeding and cramping I've been experiencing today, I'm devastated. I feel like this is a solid sign I'm not pregnant. I'm not going through a pad an hour or anything. Mainly I pass blood when I go to the bathroom. Very little accumulates on the pad in between.
Has anyone else ever experienced such bleeding and ended up being pregnant despite it? I sure hope so.
Looking for some good news and feeling very down.
Thanks!
mandy
