The answer

The only blood that necessitates ghusl (ritual bath) is menstrual blood and post-natal bleeding (nifas). The blood discharged after egg retrieval is usually due to the aspiration needle and is not menstruation. Rulings are based on the predominant assumption when certain knowledge is unattainable. This blood invalidates ablution (wudu), and if it persists, it is considered istihadah (irregular vaginal bleeding).
