Waiting for period before cycle can start

[Papillonblue]

Going a little mad, we are on the cusp of starting our donor cycle in Spain , drugs are sat in my study waiting, but my period hasn't arrived I'm normally a regular 26/27 day kind of gal and was due 3rd/4th Feb but no show.

Yesterday I did a pregnancy test just to confirm a miracle hadn't occurred. (That tiny voice of desperation that maybe just maybe I would get a miracle) I'm finding this delay is really messing with my head it's like the final taunt of my failing reproductive system. My husband doesn't really understand and I don't have any friends that I can talk to about this. It's silly really I know it will come eventually but it's just another uncertainty, from the one thing I can normally rely on

Hi. Hopefully all will fall into place soon, amd you can get started. Perhaps just a little stress. Try and keep busy to somehow take your mind off it all. Good luck. Diane

hi, I know that feeling I had exactly the same before I was due to start mine. I think the anxiety and stress of waiting for it so that I could make a start was causing my hormones to shift slightly. I spoke to my clinic and they said they see it all the time, just to try to distract yourself and find some way of relaxing (I know so difficult!!) but a day or so later I started to bleed. It’s the anticipation of everything. Good luck with everything though and try to just breathe it all out it will come xx

Jut come to let you know that here is another one is experiencing exactly the same feelings you have right now. the difference is i do it all alone. i just wanted a child of my own and it has to be perfect.. so i didn't compromise. , Failed 7 ivf spreading in three years. I might go another three cycle before turning to donor egg. I wish everyone is happy and luckier, all the best to you.
