What is frick is wrong with my cycle????

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?

    It sucks that this is happening before your IVF cycle.  I'm sure you just want AF to show so you can get this show on the road!  I didn't know that doctors would jump start AF before 50-something days - but honestly - I would try to wait it out a few more days before going that route.  If you are testing neg - it sounds like she will make an appearance very soon.  Hang in there!

    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!

    Oh, I should add that my cycles were 33-36 days long normally - so 36 doesn't seem like a huge deal.  But I can see where you want to get things rolling.

    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.

    I am so sorry. {{hugs}} They restarted my cycle for me after my surgery and before my FET. I wasn't on Provera though. They just put me on bcp for two weeks and then took me off. Then my cycle started over and that was my FET cycle. It didn't negatively affect anything in my case. But you definitely have to do what you are the most comfortable with so you don't second guess yourself later. I hope everything works itself out in the next couple of days!

    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).

    Hugs L!  I know the anticipation sucks but it will all be worth it.  I say, give it another week and see what comes.  Dr. V is the bomb and I am sure you are good in his hands.  Hugs!!!
