Waiting for my period after failed IVF...

[Qwerty2018]

So my test day was on Tuesday 18th and unfortunately it was negative. Feeling disappointed as we threw everything at this latest round. After Monday night I stopped all my medication (cyclogest, lubion injections, estrogen patches, clexane) but as yet my period isn’t showing any sign of turning up. Has anyone else been on similarly high does of progesterone and how long did it take for your period to arrive after stopping the medication?

For past rounds i’ve just used cyclogest pessaries and my period has arrived on the test day or day after so I’m guessing it must be the lubion messing things up. Just want it to arrive so I can mentally reset.

Hi Qwerty2018.

I am in the same boat as you in terms of a BFN on our most recent round. My test day was also the 18th and I have felt like I was going to get my period since before they even put the embryo back in and it still hasn't come. I was only on the cyclogest (400mg) and the prognovya (8mg) or whatever it is called and I am desperately just wanting it to turn up now!

I know this is not really of any help to you but hang in there and know that you're not alone!

Stay strong and good luck with the reset! We are going to have a break for a couple of months and then throw everything we have at round #3

I'm really sorry to hear this. Wishing you the best of luck for future cycles. I know how it feels. I lost all motivation after my second cycle. Thank god for my husband! That man convinced me to try for another attempt. Hopefully, you ladies get to experience something similar!

Sorry to hear about yout BFN. I think I was around 4 days of no meds before I started bleeding.xx

Sorry for your negative result 😢

After my recent failed round I was told it could take up to a week for all the meds to leave your system and for my period to arrive. It was a FET, so had Utrogestan and progynova.

Hi hunny I was about 14 days after no meds, I thought it was never going to turn up, but when I rang the clinic they said it can take up to a couple of weeks. It’s frustrating because in an odd way for me AF arriving was for me the sign of the cycle being done x x
