What Does Brown Vaginal Discharge Indicate After Egg Collection?
Hi! I had my egg collection last 7 feb and the embryo transfer was done last 12feb. Today is my day 6 after the transfer and will make the test on 20feb. Just this morning (2days before the test) i had few brown discharge in my underwear. What is it and it is normal? Do i have to worry
If the discharge is not associated with foul smell then don't worry. It is due to hormonal support you take like estradiol and progesterone after embryo transfer.
These will increase local blood supply which helps in implantation and maintaince of pregnancy and also increase discharge.
If the discharge is associated with foul smell and itching then it could be due to infection from embroy transfer. So consult your doctor. You can take a course of antibiotic for 5 days under guidance of your doctor.
Hope I have been helpful .
Regards Dr.Deepika Patil
