I 'weened' myself off ivf drugs as my cycle was cancelled - didn't want to stop suddenly. Now I haven't had a bleed in 4 days.

Maybe I've just been really stupid this time. I had so much pain last time I had a failed cycle that I decided to 'ween' myself off rather than simply dropping them.

I was on 3 weeks of Evorel patches x3, and as my scan was looking good I was advised to start cyclogest pessaries and Lubion (projesterone injection daily) which I took for 3 days?

With my cycle being cancelled on Friday due to high Thyroid results I was told to stop all meds and I'd have a bleed within 2 days. Last time I had a terrific amount of pain and nearly ended up in A&E as it was so bad.

Knowing I would have work on Monday, my oh and I agreed that I should keep up with the cyclogest until then and maybe just keep 1 patch on. So I 'weened' myself off instead of stopping suddenly. I had no patches or Pessaries on Monday and despite pain on Mon, Tue and Wed I have had no bleed. Today being Thursday and still nothing. I am wondering if I've done something stupid and when I will expect a bleed instead now.

You go through every ivf cycle not wanting to bleed and now I haven't even had a transfer my body won't bleed. It's almost like my body thinks it's pregnant and won't give up this time. I expect I'm being stupid and I will bleed within next few days but I've been saying that since Mon. Any advice please?

I would ring your clinic and tell them what you did and see what they say. Try not to worry too much xx

I guess I should do, but they haven't rung me back yet. They told me to get Thyroid treatment from my GP, but my GP has told me to go back to them. This would be another spanner I've thrown in the works. Thanks for your advice Tugsgirl xx

I would give it a few more days your body is probably confused with what is happening xx

Hi music1 I was told to stop meds before we got to ec and it took me 7days to start bleeding when the clinic told me it would be 2 days. after the 7day bleed I had my regular period 27 days later so hopefully will be the same for you too. Sorry to hear things didn't to go hope you have a chance to go again xxx

Thanks nmill, will give it a few more days then. Just started worrying that I probably confused my body completely by stopping them bit by bit. Feel much better reading your reply xx
