I am on cycle day 36, yes, 36!!!! I have tested 10 million times and of course I am not pregnant, but AF is not coming. I'm having a ton of discharge (sorry, TMI) that is making me run to the little girl's room often, but nope, NOTHING! I have been having pretty severe cramping for 4 days now, but still, NOTHING! WTH is going on? I hate to have to have a medicated jump start, but Dr. Vaughn has offered and I am wondering if I should take him up on that offer. I am really ready to move on with the IVF and get this going. Any advice?

My cycles were consistently 31-34 days, so that doesn't seem THAT long to me. I think I've heard you should wait 60 days before medically jumpstarting? I'm sorry for the delay right before your IVF cycle--that's has to be sooo frustrating!!
Hoping something happens for you today!
(((hugs))) My first cycle off BCP was like that when we were ttc the second time. I think it ended up being a 40 something day cycle. I blew through a ton of tests. I hope AF arrives soon so you can get on to your IVF cycle. I know it's early, but tons of BFP dust for you!

That really stinks. I'm sure you're so anxious to get going on the IVF cycle. Are you charting? Are you sure you O'd on time this cycle? Stress wouldn't delay your AF, but it might have delayed O.
If it was me, I'd wait another week and try to get going onto the next cycle if nothing shows up and if you're sure you'd O'd at your normal time. My only concern would be screwing with my "natural" cycle and wondering if it could mess anything up for the IVF cycle. I took Provera once and I swear it messed me up for the next 2 cycles.
Anyway, best of luck and I hope if AF is going to show, she shows up sooner rather than later!
FWIW - I was really crampy, I mean, REALLY crampy that I was positive that AF was on its way when I got my BFP.
Dx with endo & blocked left tube - TTC #1 for 29 cycles before miracle BFP, #2 - Surprise!!

Thanks ladies. I am frustrated and emotional and just ready to get this show on the road. The anticipation is driving me nuts. This was a "break" cycle and I did not chart or do anything. I really needed the mental break from everything. It has been over 2 weeks since the last time we bd'd (blush) so I know that I am not pg. Honestly, I have no idea what a normal cycle would be for me anymore without meds so I need to just be patient. My damn body does not know what the hell to do if it is not told exactly what and when to act by meds. Sorry, I'm frustrated. I have had to be jump started once before by Dr. S and I did not like the meds at all. So I am going to wait at least another week. I guess that gives me one more week to eat sushi and drink wine!
(Don't worry, I am not drinking much at all and only red wine).
Married and it feels so good!
