Norethisterone but no periods

Hi ladies. Any advice or comments will be greatly received please. My partner and I are due to begin IVF but due to my Polycystic ovaries I have not had a period in over 3 years. I took 3 5mg tablets of norethisterone for a week which I finished 2 weeks ago. I have had no bleed. I have to phone the nurses tomorrow if it doesn't arrive by then. Has this happened to anyone else? I am really worried that it will mean something else is wrong or we cannot do IVF. :-( We have been through 2 years of clomid and then injections but no avail. I am really panicing xxx

I think generally it can take up to two weeks to force a bleed so I wouldnt worry just yet! They may need to increase the length of time you take it - what did you do to force a period for taking clomid ??

I didn't bleed then either but they decided to just go ahead with the clomid anyway xx
