Proper red blood between embryo transfer and OTD - but had a BFP

Just wondered if there's any chance I'm not out really. Did any of you have red bleeding (not spotting - I'm going through a panty liner) in between embryo transfer and your OTD and still end up with a normal pregnancy/live birth? I did a very early test (against clinics instructions!) on 5dp5dt when I started having brown CM and it was a strong positive on FRER and CBdigi. I tested again after a day of red bleeding on 6dp5dt and still positive on CBdigi. I know it's very unlikely and I'm probably having a chemical but I just wondered if any of you had this and still stayed pregnant. I'm not testing again till Friday when I know it'll be clearer if it's gone. Thank you for reading.

No advice geeup but sorry you're going though this. I'm keeping everything crossed for a good outcome x

Bleeding in early pregnancy is pretty common, even more so with ivf it seems.

As you are getting positive tests you stand a good chance. Hang on in there!

Is this a fresh or frozen cycle? If fresh you probably had a HCG shot that might still be showing in your urine and giving a positive test.

That said, I have carried 3 babies through IVF and bled in the way you described at that stage with two of them.

Thanks silver and euro.
Oddboots - It was fresh so I did have gonasi as a trigger 13 days ago. However it was my second cycle - in my first (failed) cycle, I had the same issue - spotting then bleeding at 5/6 days post transfer and when I tested it was a clear negative. So unless this time the trigger stayed in my system much longer, I'm hopeful I am/have been pregnant. Reassuring you have experienced it too but had successful pregnancies.

Thanks for all your comments everyone. Did another test today and it's all over - BFN. Not really surprised. Just thought I'd update incase anyone finds this thread in the future.
