Found out today that our first fet failed. I already took my progesterone shot and morning estrace today but will not take it tomorrow.

Wondering, if you've had a fet that didn't work, when did you get your period after stopping progesterone and estrogen?

Mine has always come just a few days after stopping meds. And just been like a normal period. Hopefully you’ll be the same so you can start to look forward to the next of those 5 little frosties getting their chance x

I've been the same. Last meds on a Tuesday morning would mean period on Thursday or Friday for me. Hope you get it over with quickly - the day my period starts is always the worst day of the whole cycle for me, physically, mentally and emotionally so it is always a relief to get it out of the way.

I had a cancelled cycle in November so took both meds up until 5 days before what would have been transfer day. My period ended up being 2 weeks later than expected, so I ended up with a 42 day cycle!

My clinic said it should been the usual 28, or just a couple days late. Was really annoying as I then missed the December cut off for Christmas and had to wait until January to start again!

I'm a bit nervous as otd is tomorrow and if negative I'm not sure when to expect my period as I've been on the meds over 2 weeks longer this time!

I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. That sounds so frustrating!

I'm keeping hope and good thoughts for you on your otd!!

sorry for your failed transfer, I also had a negative on Sunday, took my last progesterone on Saturday night and took my estrogen patch off straight after the test. I started bleeding yesterday, mines a lot heavier than a normal period which my clinic said is normal. Hope you’re ok xx
