Am driving myself crazy - can anyone offer any reassurance?

Following IVF, I am six weeks pregnant. I am due to go into my clinic for an early scan on Tues. I am taking progesterone pessaries (cyclogest) vaginally twice a day.

Had been out and about on Friday and got home to find a reasonable amount of mostly dark brown spotting, with a tiny bit of red. No pain or anything. Since then I have had some more v dark brown spotting, mostly just when I wipe iyswim. This morning it is still there - brownish/greyish.

I am driving myself mental with worry. I spoke to my clinic yesterday and the nurse mentioned that the progesterone pessaries can sometimes cause spotting and/or dark discharge and that I should call them back if the bleeding became bright red and/or I had any bad cramps.

Does anyone have any experience of this? I have no idea how I am going to get myself to Tues without driving myself mad!

TIA

hi Honeybee

Congratulations on your IVF pregnancy.

we are currently 27 weeks with an IVF baby and like you cyclogest made me spot/bleed. I was told to insert them in the back entrance and i soooooooo preferred them that way, i never went back to front door. they do cause irritation of the cervix which can cause you to spot. try them the other way.

good luck for your scan x
