Does anyone know when I can expect this? It's been a week today and thought I'd have had it by now. Not taking any meds now btw as had a freeze all

It took two weeks after ovulation for mine to arrive where ovulation was when I took trigger. So I guess however long your luteal phase is usually is when to expect it

I had a freeze all and got my bleed 11 days later (with an ovitrelle trigger I think?) .They told me it would be 14 days, but it was a little earlier than that.

See this is why I'm confused, I was told to expect a withdrawal bleed a week after egg collection then I'll have a natural period and then we will do a fet. So I was thinking I'll have a bleed and then a normal period? So so you think they will class my next period as a withdrawal bleed? And then I'll have to wait until another period before fet goes ahead?
My trigger was Gonasi 5000 and I had it last Wednesday

I thought it was just a post IvF period rather than a withdrawal bleed. I had my period two weeks after trigger and then a normal month of ovulation and period.

I was told 7-10 days if you take the hcg trigger which I think yours is. I had to switch to Buserelin due to mild ohss risk, so the withdrawal period comes sooner, 5-6 days. Be prepared for your next normal period to be late too. Mine was 7 days late and I’m always like clockwork. Frustrating as it adds to the delay of next cycle or transfer.

Maybe it is just a period then but the way my clinic have explained it as a withdrawal bleed has confused me I guess. It'll be 10 days Monday and I'm due on my normal period the 20th so not sure what to think now. Just thinking now it's Gona be delayed even further

I did my freeze all cycle in October and then had my bleed/period whatever it's meant to be called -- I kept getting corrected when I called it a period by my clinic! - then had my period after the normal 4 weeks and started my transfer cycle then. The wait at every stage of this process is so horrible, but especially so when it feels sooo close!! All the best, whenever it happens.
