Clomid/Pregnyl - brown mucus

6 replies

Evita13Guest ·
Hey hey,

I'm in my first round with Clomid 50mg and Pregnyl 5000. I got the Pregnyl shot last Monday morning, so I think I ovulated on Tuesday. We did our best to time it exactly as the gynecologist advised.
Meanwhile, it's been 8 days since the Pregnyl, so I'm 7 days past ovulation.

When I go to the toilet, I have a bit of brownish mucus on the paper when I wipe. This morning it was even very light pinkish (a bit fresher). I also feel like I'm about to get my period in my lower abdomen.

Since it's only 8 days since the Pregnyl, that seems too early for my period.
I know Pregnyl can trick your body and cause pregnancy symptoms. Could this brownish mucus also be a false symptom? Or could it actually be implantation?


I know, there's not much else to do but wait a few more days, but it still felt weird.
When my period starts, I sometimes have brownish mucus for a day – or even 2 days – before. But now it seems so early. It's my first round with Pregnyl, so I don't know how my body will react to it.

Anyone who recognizes this?

    I didn't get a response through this channel myself, but I still want to add some information. Who knows, someone else might be looking for info related to my question later.

    Apparently, brown discharge is a common symptom when using Clomid. Clomid can cause your progesterone levels to drop. If you have low progesterone, your uterine lining will shed faster. This results in some brown discharge. A thinner uterine lining isn't ideal for implantation either, of course.

    Definitely discuss this with your fertility doctor. Fortunately, there are solutions available

    By the way, I've gotten my period in the meantime.

    Okay, I'm basically talking to myself here, but again: maybe there will be other women who have questions about this later.
    Yesterday I said I had my period because I had red blood on the tissue when wiping in the morning. Then brown blood on the tampon, but not much. On tampon #2 of the day, a bit more brown blood but even less. So I put in a pantyliner and nothing leaked into that. Nothing more on the tissue either.
    This morning: some brownish spotting again, but not much.
    Since I have to start Clomid again on day 3, but I wasn't sure whether I should count this brown spotting, I wanted to call the fertility clinic where I'm being treated. But since they'd probably ask if I'd already done a pregnancy test, I went to buy one this afternoon and secretly took it in the toilet at work... What does it show? Positive! A clear thick line.
    Going to the GP tonight for a blood test. Who knows, maybe I'll hit the jackpot after all. I really hope so. Imagine: first round of Clomid + Pregnyl. Fingers crossed!

    Hi Evita, I just read your messages now, but that's such great news for you! Congratulations! I was going to reply saying that I didn't recognize the stomach pain from Pregnyl use, only from menstruation or pregnancy. But you don't need that anymore! Are you joining the January due date group?

    Thanks Ollie!
    I have an appointment with the doctor tonight. Tomorrow is a holiday here, but I hope they'll still call me with the results. Otherwise, I'll have to wait until Friday.
    Anyway, if I get a definite "pregnant" from the doctor, I'll definitely join that group!

    I'm rooting for you, Evita! That would be really beautiful Hopefully, you won't have to wait too long for your result, especially with the holiday!

    Thanks Bloempje!
    I got some good news over the phone yesterday. HCG was quite above 200. I'm pregnant!
    On Monday I need to have another blood test to see if the HCG is rising nicely as it should
