Utrogestan tablets

I'm waiting for my withdrawl bleed to happen following 7 days of utrogestan tablets, they said it usually happens around day 5-7 after your last tablet but day 6 and still nothing. I was due to go to have my baseline scan tomorrow but can't now as they need 24hrs of bleeding first before they can scan.
My question is, anyone who has been through ivf and used utrogestan tablets, how long did you have to wait for your withdrawl bleed?
I feel cramps but so far absolutely nothing! I am so worried!

Hi @BristolDolly
My bleed started on day 5 (yesterday) after Utrogestan. I have my baseline scan this morning and it won't have been 24 hrs since the bleed started. It sounds like you really read the fine print, or your clinic is more on the ball than mine as they booked the scan for 6 days after finishing Utrogestan even though it's likely the bleed may not even have started!
Anyway, sorry, this message is mostly unhelpful for you but I'm taking time off work this morning for a scan that will probably be cancelled and wanted a rant!😒
How many days did it take for the bleed to start, assuming it has?

Hi @Piapea ,

My clinic stated they wanted 24hrs after I start bleeding to scan me so most likely this will be Monday now. I think I'm starting to get some spotting so I'm guessing my bleed is on its way soon. Its day 9 now for me since finishing the tablets. So frustrating!! Good luck for your scan!!

Hi @BristolDolly
I just thought I'd update this.. I told the nurse that was carrying out my scan that my bleed had only started the previous afternoon, so had been about 20 hrs and she didn't seem to care! She said I was fine to start stims so I had my first injection yesterday evening.
