Pregnancy after IVF discharge

Hi everyone, I’m currently 5w4d pregnant via IVF (Fresh transfer) and been having light brown/ yellow tinged discharge. I’ve checked with my GP and also the nurses at the IVF clinic and they’ve all said it can be quite normal with an IVF pregnancy to get yellow or brown discharge, and only worry if there’s a smell/ pain/ itch etc which I have none of these.
I’ve got an early scan at 6 weeks next week booked with the early pregnancy unit due to my miscarriage last time at 16 weeks so I’m being monitored closely but I still can’t help but worry it’s the start of an early miscarriage even though both the GP and clinic have said it seems normal.

has anyone experienced this with good outcomes?

I’m using cyclogest but rectally so these aren’t causing the irritation.

attaching a photo (sorry for TMI) so you can see what it’s like, there’s never loads of it but it’s enough to see on a panty liner like this. Only like this once or twice a day.

Hello! Also an ivf pregnancy and five weeks :)

honestly It looks ok to me! Just a bit like what you get after all the poking about. I can imagine it’s so hard not to worry, especially after your last miscarriage. When is your scan?

I had this with DD (FET) on and off for 9 weeks. I know it's hard not to worry but totally normal x

I had spotting for weeks and weeks after both IVF pregnancy and natural conception. Both progressed normally and have two healthy children. They never found a reason for it really. With IVF it had been a double transfer but single pregnancy and they said the second embryo may have attempted to implant.

there’s a lot going on - with the embryo burrowing in and all the drugs you’re on. It’s so so nerve wracking and I think no matter what you will worry xx but spotting is common - and I hope everything will be fine for you xx

Thank you for all getting back so quickly, it’s so reassuring that you’ve all had similar or think it looks normal! It just seems more reassuring to hear it from people in the same boat as me, sometimes it feels like I’m just being fobbed off by the nurses as they say everything is normal.

I’ve got my first scan on Monday, it will only be 5 weeks 6 days so probably won’t be able to see much yet but it’s more to just check my cervix is looking the right length etc after my previous loss, I’m under the care of the consultant at the hospital we had our miscarriage at and I think it’s going to be weekly scans up until a few weeks after we had our miscarriage at 16 weeks last time. So 🤞I’ll feel much calmer after Mondays scan.
