Withdrawal bleed questions please

Hi ladies, need some advice if possible.

My OTD was last Sunday (26th) and I started spotting on the 24th. It’s been very heavy and still on going and got a BFN.

As this isn’t a proper period, when will I next get my proper period so I can start tracking for ovulation again?

Tried googling but can’t make sense of this bit of the process🙈

Thank you❤️

To be honest I didn't track ovulation but for most of my BFNs my period returned a couple of days late off my normal cycle. I only had one that went crazy & was a 43 day cycle.xx

Wow that’s really long. I was told I might get another bleed in a couple of weeks which will be my period 🤷‍♀️ Xx

Sorry about your BFN. I used opks after my failed cycle because I knew if I didn't I would be constantly thinking 'maybe...' if it was a long cycle in spite of the bleed and negative tests. I usually ovulate around day 16/17 and in the month after my failed fresh round it was day 25 I think. Period at the end of that cycle was normal but I went straight to FET that month so don't know if the following month would have been back to normal. I think everyone varies but it does seem to be common to have a slightly longer cycle after a fresh round. X

Thank you for sharing your experience. I kinda lost all track of my cycle whilst going through the treatment. Can see this withdrawal bleed going on for a while yet 😩 xx

If you've had fertility treatment then I've had no experience of that, but just taking a guess that it might be like a miscarriage in that it would come around 4-6 weeks after the bleeding first started?

Hi, I had a failed cycle last year my withdrawal bleed lasted 12 days! Then my period was 3 days late, usually a 24ish day cycle. This year I had a failed cycle beginning of April, had withdrawal bleed, which again lasted 12 days, but I'm still waiting for my next period. I'm currently on day 43!! I've actually rang my clinic this morning to see if this is normal, but still waiting for a nurse to ring me back 😔 xx
