So confused re period after IVF

Hi ladies,

Im really having a bad day getting my period on day 12!

So i had my fresh transfer on 24th Feb and stopped meds and got period 10th March. I understand this isnt a real period

Then my next cycle was 33 which is normal for me.

The second cycle now started only after 12 days😢.

Did anyone else had this and did your cycle go back to norma soon? So fed up with my body tbh.

Mine were really long afterwards so sorry no personal experience. But your clinic should still be accessible for concerns so drop them an email/call to put your mind at rest. Hope you’re back to normal soon x

Thanks Nat. That is what i expected as well to be honest that it would be longer. Im usually on the longer side anyway. So gutted as this makes ovulation tracking difficult if not impossible. My clinic is useless if i get through they would just tell me to give it time. Thank you for replying xx

Not sure, my love. It just absolutely sucks the impact all these horrible hormones and treatments have on our bodies. Really feeling for you. Makes getting back to normal so hard. Hugs. xxxx

Thanks lovie. It must be the meds. Oh how naive i was thinking ivf would be easy and i would have my baby in a year time. Reality check !

[ttcemmie in reply to Hidden]

Yeah, same. I thought IVF was like a guaranteed baby before I started all of this. I also underestimated the physical and emotional side of IVF. It probably took me a month after my last round to even feel physically better again!

Aw bless you. Hope we all get back to “normal” sooner or later xxxx

Hi, oddly I’ve had a bit of spotting on day 10 after a 27 day cycle after ivf had failed. I’ve also got stretchy mucus which would suggest ovulating so completely confused!!! I was just looking on here to see if anyone else has had this. I’ve not got any other symptoms of AF so not fully sure it’s that but who knows! x

[Hidden in reply to Lizzie1985]

That sounds good though right? I hope that is ovulation bleeding you hear of sometimes. I never had stretchy CM apart from my trigger shot so i think all signs are good for you. I dont think i ovulated this month in just 12 days. Goodluck to you xx

I’m sorry, feels like I was completely showing off! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I think it’s good but I’ve just never had it before, but I think I saw it may be a sign of hormone levels changing. I think the after affects of ivf hormones will continue for a bit so maybe our bodies are just trying to balance out again! Wishing you every bit of luck that it normalises soon!!! X
