Bleeding after BC and on Estrace
So AF ended on Saturday and here it is again 6 days later. Awesome right? Started BC pills on CD 2 took those for 5 days, I took my 4th Estrace pill today, and BW/SONO tomorrow and hopefully starting stims for IVF #1. Is this breakthrough bleeding or another AF? How long will it last? Its not like a normal AF. (TMI) Its a lot thicker and clots. Thanks
Excited to be starting stims soon but nervous about this whole process. Not to mention worried about going back to teaching while doing a retrieval and transfer.....uhh IF I hate you.

If you read my post you'll see I have the same exact issue, I guess if we both have this it's "normal". I'll be there tomorrow too

Re: Bleeding after BC and on Estrace
I had 2 active pills left when I stopped BCP. I had two days of a full period, and I'm still spotting... very slightly.
When they measured my lining today -- they asked if I was still having a period, I said no -- but there was a lot of fluid in my lining.
I have several small follices on my left and right. I do injections for 3 days and go back Monday for another check.
My estrogen must be right where it should be, because they didn't say otherwise.

Nope. I took my last BC pill on Monday. I only took 5 BC pills to align to my REs schedule. Then on Tuesday I started Estrace.

Ha as normal as taking all these meds could be I guess...ha. Let's hope this is the last blood we see for 9 months! I have an 8:15 appointment. Uhhh, how am I gonna get up that early? Its been nice being able to make 9 am apps. With going back to work I'll be back to my normal 6:15 monitoring....boo.

So it's normal to have a withdrawal bleed after you stop taking BCPs. However, only taking them for 5 days is really short so it might be a bit wonky. Your lining really won't have built up enough to have a heavy withdrawal bleed.
