Question: Hello. Im trying to conceive since 4 months. My luteal phase was only 7 days and i had implantation bleeding for all 3 cycles but had a chemical miscarriage each time following ib. No pcod, all reports and ultrasound normal. So my gyn put me on duphaston 10mg twice daily for 20 days since cycle day 5 of menses.we used an opk and had sex daily.I ovulated on 23rd august. My periods were due on the 7th sept.ive a 28 day cycle. My gyn suggested to continue taking duphaston for a week more and if I dont get menses then get a hpt. Im sure I implantated on the 3rd...11dpo.is it possible I bled late? Its only very very light brown spots. And its the same today.is this ib or periods? I did an hpt got negative. ..should I stop taking duphaston now? Pls advise.thank you
Brief Answer:
Implantation bleeding
Detailed Answer:
Hello.Delighted to be able to help.
The implantation bleeding and menstruation bleeding appear roughly the same days but there are signs to distinguish them. The implantation bleeding color is more clear, brown, menstruation bleeding color is darker. The amount of bleeding by implantation is less than the amount of bleeding by menstruation.
Besides, all the days of implantation bleeding the amount is the same; however in menstruation bleeding the first day the amount of blood is less, then increases the amount and the last day is less again.
About continuing taking the drug that you say (progesterone) the prescription is correct. Your luteal phase is short, the production of progesterone is lower and it causes that the endometrium (uterine mucous layer) which nests the embryo is of poorer quality; but your gynecologist decides about to continue taking progesterone.
I Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Hello,
Delighted to be able to help.
Progesterone that You're taking is not responsible for spotting.
To get pregnancy in the next cycle there are fertility treatments (progesterone That You're taking is a fertility treatment) but they must be prescribed by your gynecologist.
However, by the next trip with the Merchant Navy of your husband for nine months, if you want to get pregnant in next months, I recommend The Assisted Reproduction. Using Artificial Insemination, one of the techniques of assisted reproduction, it is not necessary to perform the sexual act with your husband.
Your husband, before starting the trip with the Merchant Navy, must leave various samples of sperm.The sperm is frozen.In your fertile days (around ovulation) is deposited with a syringe into your vagina.
This procedure to Achieve pregnancy May be Repeated 3-4 times.
To do this, you must go, as soon as possible ,to a Clinic specialized in assisted reproduction.

That was good to hear doc! Thank you. Did I mention that I started spotting on 6th night? If I implanted on 3rd...is it possible I bled late?.its the third day today and the amount of spotting is exactly the same as the first. Just a smudge when I wipe. Can I test for hpt on the 11th ? Will hcg levels be sufficient to be detected on hpt?

Hello.Delighted to be able to help.
Although implantation bleeding usually occurs a few days before menstruation, as I said,there may be delays and date coincide with menstruation.
For the characteristics that you say of bleeding (very light brown spot, amount of spotting is exactly the same all the days) it may be implantation bleeding-pregnancy.The method to know for sure is to do a urine pregnancy test (which as you say detected hcg levels ) but is recommended to do a minimum 7 days after the date of menstruation, in your case it is recommended to do the test on September 14.If at that time the urine pregnancy test is negative the probability of pregnancy is very, very low.
Hope, I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. If you do not have any clarifications, please don’t forget to evaluate my answer.
