3 days late

[Squishycat]

My husband and I have been ttc for 2 and a half years . We had one round of IVF and it failed and were advised not to try again as I'm 42 and have a very low egg count and didn't respond well to the stimulations. So we just had to draw a line under it and move on. It's been hard but I've been feeling a lot more my normal self .

It's hard to not think about things around ovulation time and carry on but I've been trying. We recently went on holiday and normally with the 2 week wait I'd avoid things but this time , I drank and went on rides at a funfair . Felt freeing. Since we've come back ( 2nd cycle since going through IVF) my period is 3 days late. The first couple were fine .

I can usually tell a one is on its way as I have light spotting for a couple of days. I took a test (box of 3 from home bargains) the first evening it was due and it was negative, so did another in the morning for first morning urine . That was also negative. Took another this morning (3 days late) still negative. I'm really confused and trying not to obsess over it . I'm after some advise please.

I think everyone says it takes a while for your cycle to return to normal after ivf

My second period after failed IVF was very late, like nearly 3 weeks after it was due. Even though the first one was on time. It's very normal and often asked on these sites, the second bleed often takes much longer than the first to come as it is the first natural cycle again, the first bleed is just withdrawal of the meds. It could take 3-6 months for your cycles to return fully to normal.
