I cannot believe this! Today marks one week since my FET and I started spotting! This weekend I started feeling AF symptoms - lower back pain and crampiness. Then this evening I started spotting. This is the way my period always starts. I have never had implantation bleeding so I really think AF will be here in full force any minute. I am so sad and devastated but strangely feel a little numb. Normally I'm bursting into tears at the first sign of AF. This time I feel as if I have no more tears left to cry. I feel so defeated. I've always said I'd never give up but I don't know how much more of this I can take. I think it might be time to accept I will never have a baby.

Oh my sweet friend! I am so sorry! Are you absolutely sure it is AF? Could it be? Oh I so hope it is!
My prayers are with you!

I had spotting at 7 days post transfer with my successful IVF. Are you taking progesterone? It really should be keeping AF at bay. Maybe your RE needs to increase your dose?

I am remaining hopeful for you!

I also had heavy spotting w/ my first IVF & light spotting w/ my second FET & w/ both I was pregnant. The only time I didn't have bleeding my FET was neg, so keep your head up. W/ my neg cycle I didn't get AF until after I. Stopped the meds. 2ww is torture, sending sticky vibes
