Could the brown jelly indicate the embryos that were rejected during an IVF?
Patient: Hi I had an IVF 10 days ago, with 3 embryos transferred. Since then I am taking progesterone (pills and gel). Yesterday i saw a 5mm brown jelly like substance, and since then nothing. Could this be the embryos (that when transferred are in a gel) that were rejected? Doctor: Hi,Thanks   for writing to HCM .The chances of that brown jelly being the embryo is more since this is the usual time when embryo get rejected from the uterus.That you will be confirmed after 4 weeks when on transvaginal ultrasound number of fetus could be made out.One less common cause could be due to use of progesterone gel may lead to such discharge. Hope I have been helpful. RegardsDr.Deepika Patil
