It could be implantation bleeding -- hope so!

Implantation usually occurs 5 - 7 days after fertilization. Sometims the bleeding may not show up for a day or two -- if it happens at all. It is not at all uncommon for a woman to mistake implantation bleeding for a period...."but doc, I can't be 2 months pregnant, I had a period last month!!"

Why not ask your RE these questions now?? Lord knows I'm a doctor, but I always call my RE with any questions I have, when I have them.

Sometimes Mother nature is very tricky -- we're absolutely convinced and she's laughing her head off. Hang in there, do a blood pregnancy test 13 days post insemination, and hope for the best.

What could be done differently with the meds >next time?.

You'll need to check with your RE -- I'm just a lowly regular ob-gyn and I let the RE's determine the med protocol.

Please respond. >Thank you very much Elizabeth

Best of luck. I know how hard the waiting game is, but hang in there!
