Leaking after IVF Transfer

Has anyone ever experienced leaking after the IVF transfer?  It's been 5 days after my transfer and I'm taking the Progesterone inserts 3 times a day.  A couple of times, I woke up and found that I was soaked.  I wear a panty liner, but it's not quite enough.  I tried to look if that was a side effect of the Progesterone, but couldn't find anything on line.

I do get some discharge from the Progesterone, kind of white sticky, but the leaking is clear and odor free?  Any ideas?  Should I be calling my doctor??

I had to check the date of this forum. I think the wetness is a side effect of the progesterone. I did get a bfp with this transfer, but unfortunately my quality of these embryos were not the best and I miscarried soon after.

But take heart, two months later I did my second cycle, transferred two highest quality embryos and am now 22 weeks with twin boys. I was on the progesterone for 12 weeks and the wetness/gushing was there until I was taken off if it.

Good luck!!!

I m also on Endomitrin after my FET . I m facing same thing as u the discharge and leaking. I couldn't sleep at night well  because all the discharge and wetness. But nurse didn't mentioned to clear buildup she said it is fine. my progesterone level is fine and yesterday I got my very first BFP.
don't use panty liner if u r at home. I tried it but won't help. so please don't worry.
Good luck for beta.

No problem! By the way, I got a BFP and I'm now 24 weeks pregnant, so it certainly didn't seem like it was a bad thing :-) Oh, and it did go away after I stopped using the progesterone. As for Endomitrin and buildup, I'm not really sure...it might not expand the same way Crinone does, but you could always check with your RE at your next appointment. Good luck with everything!

Well... I am so glad that I'm not the only one.  It just happened again, and I was really starting to think I was losing it!!  I didn't hear about removing some of the buildup.  I'm taking Endometrin.  

Thanks so much!

I had that too! I used a once-a-day vaginal that I would take at night before bed, and then  in the morning, I would have this little gush of watery discharge. I'm pretty sure it's caused by the progesterone, but you're right, it's totally different than the discharge from the actual progesterone insert, which is white and kinda clumpy. By the way, I was instructed to use my finger to gently remove some of the buildup from the insert every 2-3 days to avoid the clumpy discharge and also increase absorption of future inserts. Not sure if that depends on what type of progesterone insert you're on, though. I was on Crinone.

Best of luck to you!
