Understanding Post-ICSI Discharge: What to Expect


Question
hi, this is noha.
i'm in the 2w waiting after icsi (12 days since ova retrieval). this is my third time, i saw light brownish color in my underwear, i'm afraid this is another failure. please tell me what do you think.
thanks a lot.

Answer
Hello from India,

A brownish discharge is very nonspecific and does not necessarily mean anything.  We often will see vaginal spotting because of the vaginal progesterone.  I don't think you should worry about this at this time.  Wait for the pregnancy test.

Good Luck,
