Bleeding in IVF

IVF in layman term means test tube baby with the highest results of all assisted reproductive treatments so far.
Bleeding can happen in 30 to 40% of patients during IVF at different stages - after egg pick up, during the luteal phase and during pregnancy

Definitely bleeding generally taken with dread but it can be a good sign also and can be harmless

1. Bleeding after OPU is due to the needle prick
2. During luteal support can be due to vaginal progesterone increasing sensitivity of cervix
3. Due to blood thinners
4. Can be a sign of a vaginal infection
5. Trauma due to sex
6. Local factors like polyps formed new due to elevated estradiol levels
7. Implantation sign especially when around day 10

So don't panic. Reach your doctor to get appropriate management solutions.
