Question
Hello doctor,
After 6 weeks of embryo transfer, I had brown discharge and a slight lower back pain. Doctor, can I ask if it is normal to have brown discharge and lower back pain 6 weeks after embryo transfer? Thank you, doctor.

Dear,
With the question "Is it normal to have brown discharge and lower back pain 6 weeks after embryo transfer?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
After embryo transfer, if you notice brown or black bleeding with only a few small drops, there is usually no need for concern. This type of bleeding is often normal and indicates the movement and implantation of the embryo during the first 1 to 14 days. The presence of pink or dark blood may also vary according to the hormone levels in each individual’s body.
However, if the dark brown blood becomes darker and persists, it may indicate that the embryo is experiencing complications. This situation is often accompanied by severe lower abdominal pain and back pain. If left untreated, it could lead to the loss of the embryo.
It is important to consult a clinic for the appropriate treatment as soon as possible.
If you have concerns about brown discharge and lower back pain after six weeks post-embryo transfer, we recommend visiting a hospital within the Vinmec Health System for a thorough examination and consultation. Thank you for your trust in Vinmec. Wishing you good health.
Sincerely!
