So it started this morning as a tiny bit of stretchy brown blood in my CM, nothing huge to panic about right? As the day has gone on, it is getting progressively worse. From a tiny brown streak, it changed into pinkish brownish CM, about two hours ago I had a small amount of stretchy CM with red blood in it and now I have just gone to the loo and I have quite a bit of pinkish reddish on the tissue paper.
When I saw the initial red blood I called a friend who gave me my doctors cell number, I know they are in theatre today so I sent him a text message and he called me back. He asked if I was cramping – slight period pain like cramps on and off – could be the uterus expanding to accommodate an early pregnancy he said. He told me to go in tomorrow morning for an estrogen and progesterone level check but I am freaking out now that it seems to be getting worse.
Please, please someone tell me a story where this happened and it all turned out ok? The way I feel today I really don’t know if I can fight this fight any longer.
Oh Sammy,
My heart sank as I read your post, I’m hoping against all hope that this is not AF coming. 9 days past transfer could be implantation bleeding tho, I do actually have a friend who had some blood on 9 days past transfer and now has a beautiful little girl to show for it!
I did start spotting before AF arrived but that was only on 12 or 13 days past transfer so I am hoping against all hope that this is different for you!
Please let me know how your bloods go in the morning, i’m here any time – day or night – if you just wanna chat.
Thinking of you always xxx
Hi Sam!
I don’t have any stories to tell, but I just want to say that we are all rooting for you! *stick babies stick!* *stick babies stick!*
You must be feeling so frightened now. I’m praying for you my friend.
Love ya! Hang in there and keep us posted K?
Love and hugs

I still have hope that is just bodily adjustment.
I sure hate spotting, though.
YES! there are lots of success stories even with spotting. i mean, it sucks, but it could stll work. they could just be implanting. bleeding in early pregnancy is so normal-especially for IVF’ers.
i am rooting for you.
BTW thanks for the comment on my blog. i love it “maybe you could find someone cruncy.” i may go to Whole Foods and jsut start asking around. : )
hey, you didn’t make the above comment! sorry. yours was funny too. seriously. and a good idea. see, this is what happens during NaComLeavMo. And I’m doing while talking to my clients. Oops.
So sorry you have to go through this. I don’t have any personal stories to share, but this blogger just went through a few spotting episodes on her IVF cycle and had a great beta result today: http://mamawannabe.wordpress.com/ Hang in there!

Sam,
Is there any reason you can’t poas or get a beta to know what’s going on one way or another? You’re effectively 12 dpo, which is probably far enough to test.
I hope it’s good news,

Don’t panic. This could be implantation bleeding, which would be a good thing!
I’m keeping my fingers crossed for good news and wishing you the best!
BTW . . . I’d like to add you to my blogroll. Do you mind?
Sam
I’m hoping that this is implantation bleeding and that your little embies are nestling into your womb. I had the stretchy, AF type cramps in my last week of 2ww, sure the witch was circling.
Hang in their, you’re in my thoughts.
O my heart just sunk as i read about the pinksih, red blood! but Tam is right it could be implantation bleeding! o please Lord let this be implantation bleeding!
Please let us know how the blood tests go
