Hi,
The possible causes of bleeding after 9 to 10 days of embryo transfer are:
- During implantation of embryo as it may damage few of the underlying blood vessels of endometrium some amount of spotting can be seen
- Failure of implantation.
- Sometimes even when the implantation is successful, the endometrium other than the implanted area can shed some blood during expected period of menstruation
Brown color usually indicates collected blood. As spotting may not always indicates failure of IVF, be hopeful, continue the progesterone tablets which your doctor might have prescribed. Be in rest. Go for pregnancy test tomorrow. Hopefully you may get positive result.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
