How long does cyclogest delay period?

[IVFGirlLondon]

Hi ladies!

So I’m seeing a specialist for recurrent miscarriage who’s put me on 400mg cyclogest and steroids from ovulation until I get my period or a positive pregnancy test. We are trying naturally this cycle and the thing is, it was hard to know exactly when I ovulated as the clear blue tests were showing high fertility (with no peak) for days on end. Eventually on day 27 of my cycle I stopped testing and started taking the cyclogest + steroids, assuming I must have ovulated by then (I have been known to ovulate late in my cycle). Anyway my period was supposed to arrive either day 30/31 (although it can be later) and I had spotting day 29-1st but now nothing??? I’m loathe to stop the cyclogest incase I am pregnant but at the same time it’s so unlikely given my low amh and fsh and i have tested bfn. I am due to start ivf again the next cycle and I can’t help thinking this delay is just slowing things up. Any advice would be really appreciated!!

Hi IVFGirlLondon. I would keep going until you are a week late with your period, then do a pregnancy test just in case. If it is negative then stop the progesterone and start the process again. Good luck! Diane
