cycle after failed IVF

[ForABabyPanda]

hey everyone

I think I got told before that your luteal phase doesn’t vary so if you are able to confirm ovulation date then you know when to expect period.

I actualy did ovulate in this first cycle after failed IVF, surprisingly, and it was only a few days late. Today I’m due my period based on that ovulation date but I’m feeling no symptoms and there’s no sign of a period. Can ivf mess with your luteal phase or could I actually have gotten pregnant naturally?

hiya my periods were always late after a round of ivf. Even more late if it was a bfn or a chemical xxx hope it comes soon for u xxx

Same ALWAYS late, crazy late (2-3wks). My Nurse recommended a HPT the first time...don't do it! Even though I knew it was impossible (severe MF) I did one anyway and was devastated nonetheless PTSD.

DR told me often you are late because you get cysts from a stim cycle and they take a while to resolve. Right after collection your period is regular due to the extreme drop in progesterone (if you aren't transferring).

Good luck it will come or they'll force it with a progesterone shot (i.e. mimic extreme drop in progesterone).

I have ptsd from taking otd test on a Monday. Can never take preg test on a Monday morning again!

thanks everyone - I knew it could be late but thought since I’d tested ovulation it should have come in my normal luteal time. Now at the end of that window (my luteal time is 13-15 days) and feeling cramps, had spotting, likelihood is it’ll come some time today.
