1dp5dt and spotting

Morning all

Anyone experienced the above? Had a double 5 day blastocyst transfer yesterday afternoon and as far as I know it was straightforward. I have had two fresh transfers (one miscarriage at 8 weeks and one chemical pregnancy) and this is my first frozen transfer.
Had a little bit of brown spotting yesterday in evening and then a little bit of pink this morning.
And I can’t tell if I am having cramps or if I am just constantly thinking about my womb and how it is feeling. I know that sounds insane!
I was using cyclogest (3 x per day) rectally until evening of transfer and then swapped to vaginally as nurse advised “gold standard is to bathe cervix in progesterone”😏

If anyone has anything to offer or has had a similar experience I would be very gratefult to hear as I am currently spiralling. And have another 12 days to go before testing!!

I was spotting heavily from vaginal pessaries. I had to switch to rectal pessaries because my cervix was too irritated from them. The spotting stopped almost immediately after.

Thanks @contentsmayb
I have only used the bloody things vaginally for 2 days, going to try and stick it out to achieve the “gold standard”!
But if the spotting gets worse I will switch.

@SarahScone I spotted from 3dp5dt on and off pretty much throughout the first trimester! it was also a FET and I went on to have a successful pregnancy. At an early scan (maybe around 10 weeks?) they found a SCH which they thought might have been the culprit.

The TWW is one of the hardest bits of this. Do whatever you can to keep busy!!
