Is implantation bleeding common after IVF-ICSI?

By Marta Barranquero Gómez B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 07/13/2022

This depends on the individual woman. As with natural conception, not all women who undergo IVF treatment experience embryo implantation bleeding.

When the embryo is transferred into the uterus, some women experience slight implantation spotting. However, other women have no bleeding at all. This is why the presence or absence of implantation bleeding does not mean that pregnancy has been achieved or not.
