Question : I has a IVF and on my 12th day 3 embryos transfer. I Started bleeding light with some blood clots. It lasted 3 days but today being my 4th I wipe and I have blood on my toilet paper yet it doesn't flow. I Have pressure on my lower abdomen, frequent urination, sensitive breast. I was tested Saturday being my 14th day and it showed negative. My doctor mentioned that I should retake the hcg level test because it's odd I still have light blood. Please help me

Brief Answer:
Do BHcg tests

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think you should do a BHcg blood test.
I think it is too early to detect a pregnancy in 14 th day or 16 day ( being today) it is just not detectable until 5 days of delayed period. So a home pregnancy test can be done at least 5days of delayed period( from the day of expected periods.).
Pink spotting may even not be related to a problem at all while keep in mind that if bleeding starts and cramps and pains seek medical attention soon.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have an appointment for another Bhcg for tomorrow
Which will be 17 days in. Or should I wait a little longer. I also heard that when you have blood clot it's a bad indication of it not being a implantation bleeding. My usual periods range from heavy to more heavy and this time it has been constant, light and now just when I wipe I have pinkish color on toilet paper.

And I haven't had sex since February 15th when my first injection to ovulate started.
Can I have sex or should I wait

Answered by Dr. Olgeta Xhufka (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Wait till this spotting is over before having sex.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
You better do it tomorrow and don't wait longer. Possibly you need to take progesterone hormone to support your pregnancy. You can talk about this tomorrow with your doctor.

Of course blood clots, pain and contractions are bad and a sign of abortion. A light pinkish spotting is not a sign of abortion.

I think you can wait a bit about sex. I think sex may cause contraction and make this situation of spotting more intense.
I think you can have sex after few days when spotting has stopped and you probably started progesterone therapy.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Best regards.

I am taking progesterone. I been taking it since March 2. Today, I wipe I have faint stain of pinkish color. 3 embryos were transferred. I am so distraught. Thank you

Answered by Dr. Olgeta Xhufka (13 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Probably you need a greater dosage of progesterone.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking again.
I think this pinkish discharge is not something to be distraught. You probably may need to increase progesterone dosage.
Just calm down and relax and also follow the doctor's visit and examinations.

I took a urine test negative
They also tested my Bhcg but results not available yet. Doctor advised me that a urine test is very accurate. I am assuming I am not pregnant. Thank you for your advice. I am thinking of doing a tubal ligation reversal. They were cut burned 24 years. What do you think?

Answered by Dr. Olgeta Xhufka (3 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Try another IVF before tubal ligation reversal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again. I think it is too early for urine test to be positive.
BHcg test is more accurate. Wait for the results.
If the test result is negative you can try another IVF before considering tubal ligation reversal procedure.
Wishing you good health
Best regards.

Thank you. Are the probability of having a successful tubal ligation reversal very slim. IVF is costly. At least I can redo them and God willing One day making love I can get pregnant.

Answered by Dr. Olgeta Xhufka (14 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Tubal ligation reversal is a good idea

Detailed Answer:
OK. Tubal ligation may have 50 to 80 % of successful rate. It may cost around 8,000$.
You can further consult your gynaecologist for your consideration and expectancy of doing it.
It is a good idea to be taken in consideration.
Best regards.
