The waning pain and stain make Jane insane
After only two nights of medication, I am worried that something might already be going wrong.
Late Monday and during the day on Tuesday, I noticed a fullness in my lower abdomen when I'd use the bathroom. It felt just like it does when I have a ripe and juicy follicle prior to ovulation.
Tuesday night, Paul and I had sex — affectionate, rambunctious sendoff sex. Unfortunately it was also painful sex. My left ovary hurt.
Yesterday the pain wasn't as bad, but I had some pinkish staining.
I'm still having that this morning, though it has diminished and the pain is all but gone.
This morning I'm going in for bloodwork but no ultrasound. I suppose I'd better tell someone, so I'm calling the nurse. If it turns out to be nothing, no problem, all systems go, we can all enjoy a rich chuckle at this additional irrefutable evidence that I've lost my fucking mind.

I had a very similar thing with this IVF--the pink staining (that usually only comes with ovulation), the weird fullness. I was POSITIVE I had ovulated each time I went in for the u/s. I hope it's just your follicles shouldering each other for room in there, and nothing else. I'm gonna check back every five minutes until you post again, woman.
I'll be hoping that it was the rambunctious sex, and not ovulation, that caused the spotting.
I'll also be checking in with the frequency of a crack whore, so be prompt in your update!
Um, yikes! After just two days?
Bug the heck out of them until they tell you something plausible. Then rush back and tell us. Right away.
I had spotting during my last IVF cycle, too. My E2 and P4 were fine, so it must have been cervical irritation. Which made sense considering the various objects that had been poking at the poor thing on a regular basis.
I can't imagine it was ovulation this early. Keep us posted...my fingers are crossed for you.
Oh, I don't think it's ovulation this early. I'm more worried about the pain than the staining, actually any evidence that one ovary is tender at this point concerns me. It first started hurting the day I started stims, probably before I even did the injection, so what I'm worried about is the surprise cameo appearance of another fucking cyst. Or, God forbid, an unruly follicle that battered its way into existence despite the Lupron.
If it is a cyst I think it would still be hurting. Ditto with the follicle.
And yay! spontaneous sendoff sex! Worth a little discomfort and spotting, says I.
Spontaneous sex of any kind would be delightful.
Ok, so the rambunctious send off sex was associated with some rythmic banging (pardon the pun)on uterus and ovaries, which may I add are probably a tad irritated and one is surprised one feels a bit of soreness.
Ok seriously, I am never completely balanced in pain - it is usually the right sucker that pains me. Also, I know that my partner's instrument is not completely straight, in fact, it has a distinct tendency to the left. Hence, it could be that he is stabbing the right sister more than the left one.
Take it from an old hand - I don't think you have anything to worry about this early in the piece.
But I know you will be worried with every little thing, too much at stake.
Now for the sex? Was it good?
I had two embryos transferred TODAY and now have a bit of spotting. Of course I am freagging out. Could it already be implantation or something gone wrong? I sort of know the answers, I am just wondering if anyone out there's had a similar experience.

Hi,
I had a 'weak positive' preg test 13 post transfer, which was 2 days ago. Since yesterday, I have started to have a dull ongoing pain around my right ovary or maybe falliopian tube. I'm really worried about a tubal. Can pain from a tubal be felt this early (only 2 weeks po)? I had a little dark red spotting around day 11 pt. What does all this mean?
Hi, Sonia. Please call your doctor. You do have some of the symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy, which is nothing to fool around with.
It could be nothing. It's quite possible that the pain you're feeling is from a corpus luteum cyst, and I certainly hope so. But it could also be serious, so please do get checked out.
Best of luck to you.
I had a positive pregnancy test from the doctor last Friday. My due date is January 29. For the past 2 weeks I have been experiencing vaginal pain that will not stop. Pain in my abs and around my ovaries. I was never supposed to be able to get pregnant.. I have indometreosis. I've had it since I was 11. Is it possible that my body is rejecting the baby. This pain in unbearable.

I got my period on the 10th of august. which was like my normal period. MY OVARY still hurts and its getting worse, what could it bE???? please HELP
Having pain in left ovary. Late on my period but afraid to take test becasue of prevous disappointments. Any similar problems and were you positive
I had dull pains in my ovaries June 26 and it lead me to the hospital with more intense pains in the ovaries, it felt like I was having contractions, had to have alot of pains shots (around the clock) to ease the pain, and by June 28th (still in the hospital) had a miscarriage. I had just found out I was pregnant the day before this all happened.
So my advice, if your having pains that seem pretty intense in your ovaries you really should either get to your care physician or the hospital immediately. Been there done that! Not a very fun memory.
