How common is it for you to get your period before test date? IVF

Just wondering if anyone has experience getting there period before test date? And during their 2ww?

I feel that I am experiencing normal period pains/feeling to what I would normally get and am just really scared. Although I know these feelings could be a sign of many things I still can’t help but worry and it’s keeping me awake!

In my experience it isn’t. I’ve done 4 transfers and never had a bleed before otd xx

I’ve never made it to OTD without my period arriving first. Hopefully you’ll be different x

I have started cramping 5 days before testing and bleeding 1 day before testing. I was quite disappointed that my body did exactly the same as it does every month before the period even though I was taking hormones so would think they would hold everything in place until I stopped them. I hope your cramping is a good sign x

I started to bleed at 8dp5dt and by 11dp it was full flow. I was on 3 x Utrogeston tablets too which didn’t keep it away. My period started exactly when it would have done on a normal cycle. Things like this are so difficult as everyone is so different.

Wishing you lots of luck and I hope your pains/feelings are a good sign xx

First try my period arrived before test day. I was actually relieved in one way because it meant I didn’t have false hope. Second try I was very pre menstrual and was actually pregnant and no bleeding occurred. Unfortunately there is no rhyme or reason to it... wishing you lots of luck xxx

First two rounds I got my period before test day, but third round which was successful I still felt hormonal. It’s just impossible to tell from symptoms when you are on progesterone etc.

I've always gotten my periods around 9dp5dt. It's very upsetting when it happens and makes me feel so broken. I hope you don't have to experience it as often as I have...

Hi Holiday_maker i have only got to test day two out of four transfers :( I bleed through progesterone pesseries 🤦‍♀️ but just wanted to add, I had cramps 2 days before my BFP this time and felt "heavy" down there as if my period was coming but it wasn't!! Got everything crossed for you 🙏😘😘 xxx
