And in what is all undoubtedly a challenging period, the time after your embryo transfer and before you can take a pregnancy test can be one of the worst. After weeks of daily monitoring and conversations with your nurses and Fertility Specialist, this period can seem to be an interminable wait.
A pregnancy test is not reliable until 16 days after your egg collection and because you've been focusing on your body for the past four weeks or more , you'll notice and analyse every twinge, symptom or sensation. Genea's Counsellors, Nurse Coordinators and your Fertility Specialists are all available to support you during this time and we have a range of tools and programs to help you cope and will be expanding this part of our support service in coming months.
Cramps Period type cramps are very normal during the period between your transfer and the pregnancy test, especially quite soon after an embryo transfer. You might also experience them approximately seven to 10 days after an insemination. Many women experience spotting soon after their embryo transfer - around the time an embryo would be implanting if it is going to do so.
This often shows as a brownish discharge or a small amount of fresh blood. Some women can experience very heavy bleeding, but still have an ongoing pregnancy depending on where the bleeding is coming from and what it is caused by. Sore or Swollen Breasts Your breasts can feel very sore and swollen, particularly after taking FSH injections as they will elevate your hormone levels, particularly progesterone. Everyone has different reactions to these hormones - some women feel no different but are pregnant and others do have swollen breasts and unfortunately are not pregnant.
After embryo transfer if the embryo implants, more hormones are produced to support the pregnancy. Typically, it is short-lived and minimal. In rare cases, excessive bleeding can occur. If this happens, it is important to inform your doctor right away. Some women experience light bleeding or spotting following the embryo transfer.
This is often quite alarming, and many women become worried that something is wrong. However, this can happen in many cases, especially if your doctor had to manipulate your cervix during implantation. This can even occur under normal circumstances, and is oftentimes referred to as an implantation bleeding. Spotting of this type typically comes from the mouth of the uterus, and will have no negative effect on the development of your embryos.
Women can also experience light spotting later on, during the luteal phase. Additionally, spotting can sometimes be caused by vaginal progesterone suppositories, which can cause excessive cervical sensitivity. It is important to understand that spotting does not necessarily indicate that the IVF has failed.
Light spotting and brown discharge can occur during the first two weeks and beyond. Try to remember that your uterus is undergoing changes due to your medications and your embryo.

Thanks to in vitro fertilization IVF , couples experiencing male, female, and mixed infertility can finally become pregnant and start a family of their own. It's important that IVF patients be aware of the side effects associated with the procedure. Spotting is one of these potential side effects, and it may occur at different times during treatment. Let's take a moment to consider how common spotting is during IVF, what causes it, and whether or not it should be a point of concern for patients.
Spotting is a relatively common part of the IVF process, and one of many common side effects that patients experience during an IVF cycle. Cramping, for instance, is another common side effect of IVF procedures.
It's estimated that between 7 percent to 42 percent of IVF patients experience some amount of spotting or light bleeding during different stages of IVF. Spotting on its own is not necessarily good or bad. As noted above, it's somewhat common among patients going through IVF.
With that in mind, however, it's important that you report any bleeding or spotting to your fertility specialist so they are aware of what you are experiencing.
