heavy bleeding on 8th day after embryo transfer

Hi, I'm new to this site and I'm on my first ivf cycle. I had my embryo transfer on 17/10/12 and i've been taking the
progesterone. I'm on my 9th day now and wed evening i had spotting like brownish pink blood. then yesterday
(thusrday) morning still same then it turned to a heavy period. I spoke to my doctor and he said it should be a good sign that my period came it means that the embryo is starting implanting however he said my period came early
and its not due in 5 days. So he's not sure if it really works or not but to wait on my blood test this.coming monday.
I'm still bleeding a little bit right now but it's not heavy anymore. I'm now worried that it didn'T work coz  actually had heavy period. Also i tried home preg test and it came up as neg i know its too early but I just hate this feeling of wondering if its all good or not.
is there anyone had similar experience and still got pregnant despite having heavy period just before their blood test? also i have no symptoms of pregnancy right now except for cramps probably period pain only. Hoping someone cannhelp or give anlittle bit of advice.

I had a 5dt, transferred 1AA quality egg and 1BB quality egg. Day 5 I had pinkish/brownish discharge, I called the doc they confirmed nothing to worry about. Day 6 lots of blood clots. Has anyone had a successful pregnancy even with heavy blood clots? I have my first beta tomorrow and Im feeling overwhelmed! How can I remain positive?

Been reading through all the posts as I am currently 10 days post transfer (had transfer on 29th September) am supposed to be doing at home pregnancy test tomorrow morning first thing.  While at work today had major cramps come on very suddenly followed by period like bleeding :(
I'm trying to stay busy and just get through this evening so we can test in the morning but having been feeling so positive through this whole process today has really changed that! Not feeling so positive now, this feels like a period and all my symptoms I had been having (tender breasts, headaches, tiredness  and thirsty all the time etc) stopped yesterday so I think they may have been a side effect of my progesterone only? Still on my progesterone twice a day. I had a 5 day blastocyst transfer of two embryos, I've read that bleeding could be implantation but I think I'm past the days that should have happened...I've also read it could be one embryo miscarrying but who knows! Just waiting the night through for the test in the morning...

Hello Dr, I did the test and it came low. My dr told me to come back on Monday. I feel very light, not like a pregnant woman.  Well I hope God help me.
