Delayed period the month after egg collection 🙃

Hi All.

Hope is al well given the circumstances.

Title says it all. 6 weeks ago I had egg collection, after egg collection my period came about 2 weeks later however, I was due on yesterday for my second period after egg collection and she hasn’t showed any signs.

I didn’t do ivf this way last time as I had prostap then egg collection then had a fresh transfer. My periods took a while last time because of prostap.

This time I’ve had no prostap but my period is late. I don’t feel pregnant but I don’t have my usual period symptoms either. Sore boobs, headaches etc.

Please can someone advice is this normal after egg collection.

I have done a pregnancy test this morning but it’s negative as I said I don’t feel like my period is coming but I don’t feel pregnant either.

Getting worried something is wrong.

Thanks guys 🤪😛

This journey 🙃😏

Hey Faith, I had a similar situation and ended up being 6 days late (usually I’m like clockwork) for the first proper period after withdrawal bleed etc. I think it’s white common as have seen other ladies here report the same. Fingers crossed yours arrives soon :) I don’t think there’s anything to worry about but understand how further delays in all this don’t help! X

Hopefully your period arrives soon. With all this treatment and drugs and stress etc. periods can be a bit late. Try not to worry (I know, I know, hard). Lots of love xxx

Thanks 😊 I’m usually like clock work I think that’s what my worry is. Yes your are righty it’s prob down to all the drugs my body is probably confused. It’s nice to have no pain form endo that’s the bonus I suppose lol xxxx hope your doing well

I am also usually like clockwork and any changes in my period have had me jumping up and down, but each time I've worried it has just been that it's been a little late. A nightmare and worrying to be sure, but even the one time I missed a period completely and went to a doctor, they were like yeah, it's fine sometimes people can just miss periods. I was like what?! No, that's normal, but there wasn't anything wrong.....

Mine was 10 days late after the one that was 2 weeks after egg collection. I blamed it on corona situation anxiety as in my last round it wasn't more than a day or two late. Hope it comes soon.
