My body just won't cooperate, and I'm getting really worried that it's going to steal this January IVF cycle from me. I was supposed to start my period this week so that I could do a day 3 start of birth control. Well, today is day 29 of my cycle and there are no signs of the period coming...no cramps or discharge. I know you're probably thinking that day 29 isn't even really late, but for me it is. Previous non-medicated cycles have ranged from 21-25 days. It should be physically impossible for us to be pregnant, but I took a test this morning just to make sure and there was no second line. I was really relieved at that...the last thing I want is to deal with another early miscarriage or ectopic right now.
To add to my concern, I have a sneaking suspicion that I didn't even ovulate this month. None of my OPKs ever came back positive, but I had chalked it up to them having been open too long. Plus, I wasn't really testing religiously, just trying to keep a basic picture of where I was in my cycle.
I've never wanted to start my period so badly in my life. I am getting so excited about trying IVF, and now just want to get the ball rolling. I have an email into my doctor, but am so anxious I can't stand it. Any ideas out there?
I hope the evil AF shows up soon...usually taking a HPT works for me. The moment I waste the $ on HPT she shows up. Have you been exercising more than normal? That could cause her to be late...
ReplyDeleteHa ha, D.I.N.K. I am the same way! AF usually shows up within two hours of HPT!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I don't have any advice on AF, my guess is the stress.emotions of IVF are making it late.
Good luck, fingers crossed!
Ugh. The best laid plans, right? I don't have any tips to make AF come. Have you been eating like normal lately?
ReplyDeleteI hope she comes soon so you're on the correct IVF track like you want to be : )
Ugh - I'm so sorry the body isn't cooperating!!!
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel. Sometimes you just want to get on with it! Hope you start soon!
