Really frustrated. Was expecting AF today but still no show. Failed fet in early August, had withdrawal bleed within 3 days as expected. Know I ovulated this month according to opk approx 15th August but still no AF and have no AF symptoms either. Its really getting me down because I can't get in with my clinic for treatment planning for my 2nd cycle until I've started AF.. WHAT on earth is going on. I'm usually regular as clockwork.
Can anyone advise or speak from experience when they got af (not withdrawal bleed)? So desperately want to get back in with my clinic 😢

Hey hun. Sorry for your failed FET. I had a chemical back in May and the period after my withdrawals bleed was 2 weeks late. Sometimes our bodies just get their time to recover and go back on track. I was told by clinic if af was late more than 3 weeks to contact them so I could get something to induce period.
Best of luck and I hope yours is not too late 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗🤞🤞🤞🤞
I was nearly two weeks later than expected on my first cycle after failed FET. Thinks it’s pretty normal. Hormones are all over the place. I called the clinic because I was worried and they said they can give me something to induce a bleed (after asking several times If I was sure I wasn’t pregnant 🙄) but they would rather it happen naturally which it did a few days later. Easier said than done but try to relax and be patient x
Thanks for the replies. Makes me feel better. I just assumed as I'd ovulated just over 2 weeks ago, assumed my period would show up on time. Its stressing me out a bit as I'm desperate to get back in with the clinic. The waiting is horrible. Find myself waking up every morning anxious and nauseas. I'm so frightened about what happens to me and OH if it fails again xxx
Sorry to hear about your failed fet. I'm currently going through this with my first ever fet with pgs normal 5 day blastocyst. My hcg numbers are decreasing.
My Dr said to expect my period in 10 days. He didn't mention withdrawn bleeding! I'm totally unprepared. What is withdrawal bleeding about?
Are you wanting to do another fet straight away? Did you do additional tests to find out what went wrong with the first? Have you done the ERA/Alice/Emma test? I'm too scared to do another fet until I exhaust further tests as it can't just be bad luck...please let me know of another test I may have missed. We've both been tested for everything and it all comes back normal.
I'm having hcg test even though this is bypassed by icsi. It's so frustrating as there's nothing wrong me. We have poor sperm motility. I've never heard of ERA/Alice/Emma tests.
I have frozen embryos left but I'm doing a fresh cycle to bank as many as I can. All 3 of my cycles have to be used within a year. I'm so depressed thinking it'll fail again. I feel so low and anxious daily and now the added stress of waiting for my first natural period which I don't think is coming any time soon. I'm 2 days late now.
I've been doing ivf since Feb. I used to be regular as clockwork but I've been on a non stop cycle of withdrawal bleeds and natural periods since I developed OHSS in May. First failed transfer start of August so I can't really say I've had a normal cycle in quite some time. The periods I have been having have been in line with treatment. So far, this is the first time I've been late and it's infuriating as I'm desperate to get my next cycle started. I literally have zero af symptoms. Had normal ovulation symptoms just over 2 weeks ago and I wasn't worried but now I am since my period hasn't showed x
My periods were ok for most of my failed cycles and I snapped back to normal. I did have a random cycle after a failed cycle where my period stayed away for around 43 days but I wasnt checking ovulation. Was your OPK stick definitely positive? The reason that I ask is when I started using them I wasnt aware that the test line should be darker than the control line....I was looking at them like pregnancy tests....just looking for a decent second line. Hopefully all will settle down for you!xx
Ahhhh ok you defo have that covered then! Ha ha ha I was just naive when I started out and was using internet cheapies. Im sure it will show up soon then or hopefully not but for good reasons!!🤞🏻🤞🏻xx
