Should I keep taking cyclogest to delay AF?

[Sylva123]

Hi all. I'm on cyclogest, clomid & HCG shots for a luteal phase defect and am now on CD29, my longest ever cycle. I was told that if I get a BFN the day my period is due then I have to stop taking the cyclogest so AF can come.

My question is what if I continue taking cyclogest for one extra day to hold AF off a tiny bit longer? The reason for this is timing - if AF comes Monday I'll ovulate over Xmas, when we have to travel around family. My OH finds dtd under pressure really hard & I can't see it happening when we're staying in parent's houses. If I can push ovulation back a day it gives us a better window to dtd at home. Is it risky to mess with the cycle like that?

I’d say you’re fine doing that!! It will just delay the bleed and start of the new cycle by a day or so, even a couple of days extra probably would be fine!x

Hi Sylva. I would think tht would be OK. But always be advised by your specialist/clinic. Good luck with it all. Diane
