Longer cycle Length after IVF?

Hello all,

Looking for a bit of advise. My cycle has always been between 24 and 26 days with positive ovulation test on day 13.

I did my egg collection last month and I was medicated with estrogen and progesterone to avoid bleeding before test day, as I always started bleeding on day 24-26 in previous rounds. My fresh transfer turned out to be a negative.

I am supposed to get a frozen transfer this cycle, but I am now on day 15 and still haven’t ovulatated. My blood draw shows my LH surge sloooowly starts to rise now.

Can all the hormones in previous cycle cause a long cycle now? Anyone had similar ?

Wasn’t the case in my previous round.

Thank you 🙏

Sorry about your BFN. Just to say my cycles always went a bit haywire after an IVF round and sometimes I found I didn’t ovulate at all the first month. They normally settled month two or three. Good luck for your FET x

Yes, this is normal. I literally rang my consultant last week to discuss this. My cycle is always bang on 28 days. Last two since egg retrieval were 37 and 32 days. My LH surge was really late also, Therefor , to give my body time to get back in sync my consultant advised me to wait till next period to start frozen transfer . x

Mine were longer then gradually got shorter more like normal over the course of 3 cycles, there's a lot.of hormones messing up the natural order of things

Yep I usually ovulate a bit later than normal after a failed IVF - sometimes significantly later xx
