Bleeding during an IVF cycle?

One of the most difficult things IVF patients have to deal with is the fact that there are no symptoms or signs of what’s happening inside their bodies. Bleeding during an IVF cycle constitutes not only a source of anxiety for the couple/woman but also an important indicator of the treatment cycle, most of the times.

The Last Period before IVF

The first day of your period marks not only the beginning of the IVF cycle but also awakens the dream of creating your own beautiful family. You are ready to give your best shot for your baby angel who will radically change your life and will pave the way towards new horizons and challenges, knowing that it will not be the easiest one, but it will definitely be the sweetest and most beautiful of all.

Bleeding after Egg Collection

You may notice some blood spotting after the egg collection. However, this is not something to worry about; egg collection is an invasive method in which a needle invades into the follicle in order to absorb the isolated egg. This bleeding is usually minimal and stops very soon. Increased blood flow is really rare and, if this is the case, you should, immediately, inform your doctor.

Bleeding after Embryo Transfer

And suddenly the time is freezing… And the pregnancy test looks so far … 2 weeks of stress … fear … hope!! Dreams come and go… and your feelings seem to be prisoned into an elevator that goes up and down all the time!

But what if you see blood spotting during these 2 weeks? The appearance of bleeding after the embryo transfer does not necessarily indicate the start of your period and thus the failure of the IVF cycle. Instead, it is very likely to indicate low levels of progesterone and estrogen, that on the one hand does not affect the embryos implanted in your uterus and, on the other hand, it can be easily regulated if you inform your doctor as soon as possible.
