Late?
My last beta for IVF#4 was on 8/21 and my AF came the very same day in the afternoon. It was a typical heavy AF.
My AF is usually like clockwork: you can set your calendar by her. She comes every 28 days whether or not I want her to.
Except for this time.
Oddly I'm 4 days late.* Insanely, my mind started wondering, "Maybe the beta wasn't REALLY less than 2!?" and then "Maybe I'm getting early menopause?" (Mom didn't get hers till she was in her early to mid 50's so there's a small chance of that happening) and then I settled on, "Maybe my cycle is just totally whacked out after this last IVF?"
I've checked and double-checked my calendar. AF was most definitely due on Monday and today is Friday. This is a first. I'm rarely more than one day late even when it's the first real bleed after an IVF cycle. I've had minor cramps here and there that smack of AM coming on but I'll run to the bathroom only to find nothing. If she isn't here tomorrow I'm going to POAS just to set my crazy, hopeful mind to rest. (Now that I've said that I'm sure I've jinxed any chance of being pregnant!)
*Before you get all excited, remember that I don't have any fallopian tubes. I can't get knocked up accidentally...oh how I wish.

post a commentI know this fear/frustration. With my bilateral hydrosalpinx, I have even less chance of a successful pregnancy than with no tubes (the hydros are huge). I just had a 45 day cycle before being able to prep for this cycle, and was in a complete panic.
I would call the clinic - of course it took me forever to do that.
Thinking of you,
