Oh and Saffy, your pregnancy was okay after the post-progesterone spotting, right? Did they put you back on the progesterone to stop it or just wait it out?
My clinic always said to take progesterone up till BT. If neg stop and if positive continue till 12 weeks. Was it a fresh or frozen embryo? My clinic worries more about progesterone levels in a frozen cycle as in a fresh cycle you should have a corpus Luteal cyst to help with progesterone levels if the cycle is successful.. Does that make sense?
I also had lots of spotting like you are talking about during my TWW with my last embryo transfer and it still stuck. I know it's easier said than done but if it's just 'spotting' and not enough to soak a pad it's usually harmless from what my FS told me. Good Luck Xx
Oh thank you Jasmine00 - I really needed to hear that pregnancies can survive a bit of spotting during the 2ww! Congratulations on yours!!
It was a fresh cycle so I'll hope my corpus luteal cysts have kicked in. I have also read on other threads that the progesterone pessaries themselves can sometimes cause spotting too so I will see what happens now that I'm stopping them.
This process is so confusing and frustrating sometimes - I am so grateful to all the people that have offered support and advice!!
I reluctantly finished up my pessaries yesterday (7dp5dt) and my spotting seems to have stopped today. I gave into temptation and POASed this morning (8dp5dt - First Response) and got a definite positive line . I think my trigger would be out of my system after 15 days (?) so am getting excited!! I am praying that our little bean can hang in there without the progesterone support!!
