    Seven days past transfer is different to seven days past ovulation - ovulation would correspond to egg collection in this case.

    If she's had a blastocyst embryo transferred, they go back on day 5 or 6, so she could really be looking at 12-13 days since egg collection/ovulation and that unfortunately means it is likely that cramping and bleeding at this stage is related to AF arriving.

    If it's a day 2-3 embryo that was transferred then she's looking more like 9-10 days since egg collection and AF arriving at this point would be unusual.

    BUT... if she is using crinone, the applicators can be quite savage for want of a better word and it's not that unusual for some bleeding to result. Even with pessaries - they do cause a lot of irritation to the cervix.

    How long until her blood test? The hormones are unlikely to make AF come quicker (usually later, if anything), but I do know of some women who have been unable to absorb the progesterone in that form and have had AF arrive very early, but this can be dealt with in subsequent cycles.

    She said bt is on Monday. I'm pretty sure she got t/f a day 5 embryo. She said she was on progesterone injections?

    Thanks guys

    I would suggest she rings her clinic and asks if she can have a BT earlier(e.g.tomorrow), I did this on two of my cycles with similar symptoms ( and I would have been just as early in the cycle) as I couldn't stand the waiting,it was killing me. Sorry,I wish I could say she is pregnant, but only a BT will tell her this

    Big Hug to your friend as I know the stress all too well.

    Sorry about your friend Ahurani. Perhaps direct her to BB so she can chat with all the LTTTC ladies.
