Natural Cycle after Egg Retrieval

Hello,

Just after some advice really...

I had my egg retrieval in August, after it my period came a week early (I’m normally a straight every 28 days) ... the clinic said not to worry as it can happen with all the hormones... we were unable to do a fresh transfer as I am high risk of OHSS. We are desperately waiting for my next natural cycle as then we can look at doing a FET. The problem is this one is ‘late’. If my last period hadn’t been early then I wouldn’t be due for another week but I assumed that because my last one was early this one would just follow... I’m not even sure it matters as long as it arrives?? Am I over thinking this or should I be concerned given that I am normally so regular...

advice appreciated... :)

Hey lovely, hope your egg collection went well.

I was the same as you, got my period about 2 weeks after but my period after that was really late, made my cycle about 45 days in the end - it is completely normal for the 2nd one after collection to be late so don’t worry and I hope it comes soon for you! Good luck with your transfer xxx

Ours was 45 days... no one prepares you for this. I was normal is as normal does, (sorry to Forest Gump there) then after EC it was insane. I also suffered OHSS

Hi lovely, I got my period 1 week after EC then the next one was 35 days (usually 28 too) all pretty normal as your body has had all sorts to deal with xx

Thank you... this makes me feel better! I guess I’m over eager as we are keen to have our transfer xx
