menstruation hasn't started yet

Okay, so I have made dipherelin shot 5 days ago and I was told that usually they start in 5-7 days, so I was hoping to start taking pills as soon as possible but nothing's happened yet. Is that normal? How was your experience? Maybe it is too early? Maybe I should've done something?

I am thinking of asking my manager what to do, but what if I am just overreacting..?

Hi johannashr. Sometimes the presence of an ovarian cyst can sometimes delay a period when on dipherelin. Always best to check with your clinic if any delay in case they want to check you with a scan. It just may be that you will have to wait a few days longer. Good luck! Diane

Thank you so much! But everything is fine right now! I am on my 3rd day of the cycle and begun taking other shots and pills!

I am really glad that it is not a cyst!! and my manager wrote me that I should wait for a bit and the same day it started.

Hi johannashr. Phew - that's a relief! Hope the rest of the cycle goes without any hitches. Thinking of you. Diane

I don't know it quite well, but my manager has told me that some women have waited for up to 2 weeks before they could go for the stimulation.

I am just happy that I will not have to stop it right now and go to my gyno to see if something's wrong with me. and that i wouldn't have to fly again to the clinic... because it is really exhausting

yeah... it would be really sad if we had to look for another donor, because we were choosing this girl for 2 days, I mean, the database is huge and we wanted to see every single girl.. when I was waiting 5 days for the menstruation I was even considering waiting for other 6 months before our donor is ready for another stimulation. I am not that old, so we could afford spending some time like this.

so you didn't undergo any stimulation? because i would have to go to the clinic to get another set of meds..
