So one of my friends told me there's no progesterone in an IVF retrieval cycle b/c they suck out the corpus luteum, and a period is caused by progesterone withdrawal bleed. so I am confused |
| 12 days post retrieval here and no AF- anyone? |
Have you called your nurse or Dr? What did they say? There must have been a lining growing (even if it was thin) during your stim cycle, so it has to shed and come out, stay patient. |
Lining was thick bc estrogen was around 3000 They said up to 14 days, but I thought that with follicles removed and no progesterone its sooner |
Will 2 extra days be material for anything in your case? If no, I wouldn't focus on worrying about it. |
No, not material, only if there's a chance I won't get it at all, I guess. |
| Also just antsy to get a move on with things, as everything is always waiting, delay etc |
Welcome to the world of assisted reproduction... everything is waiting. And if you're successful there is even more waiting: between ultrasounds, for test results, for the other shoe to drop. I truly don't know when it gets better - I havent gotten that far yet... |
