Period after egg collection IVF

I had my egg collection in November, and had my withdrawal bleed on 05/12. I am now on cycle day 45 and still no sign of my period (I’m not even sure that I’ve ovulated yet). Has anyone got a similar experience and could you share when your period finally came after egg collection?

thank you!

Hi, yes it seems quite common. Mine was a week late. How long is your cycle normally?

It’s normally between 28-32 days. I’m on cycle day 46 now, so it’s really quite late!

Hey, Did you have the Prostrap injection prior to starting the stims injections? If so its usually around 12 weeks from the date of prostrap injection that your period would return. My first cycle it returned about 11 weeks and the last one it returned about 13 weeks. Hopefully yours returns soon as its a rubbish waiting game!!!! xx

Hey, I didn’t have that injection - I did a short protocol with meriofert. It really is a rubbish waiting game. The one time that I actually want my period to come, lol!
