Failed IVF - Question about bleed after progesterone?

[jessica1303]

Hi all, questions about your bleed after a failed cycle.

How soon after stopping progesterone injections did you bleed?
Was the bleed heavier than normal?
Did it start as spotting first or not?
How long did the bleed last?
Did you have cramps before or during or both?
Was is more painful than a normal period?
What's the norm or standard for this, if there even is one?

Think that's all my questions, sorry that there's so many!

Thanks in advance for any help & advice

There probably is no normal! Mine started whilst still taking pessaries, two days before OTD. It lasted 10 days and felt less heavy, but maybe because it was spread out over more days. Normal cramps etc, nothing different really apart from being longer. And on the next cycle I ovulated about 5 days later than normal.

Really sorry it didn't work this time

Sorry for your failed cycle. I've had one failed and one mc following ivf so I know how hard it is. For my failed cycle, af started about a day after stopping the progesterone. Cramps were a little sharper than normal but flow was about the same.i had some spotting before (but I always do pre af) and ovulated about the same as before. Everyone is slightly different though. Good luck for your next steps.
