Delayed ovulation after an IVF cycle?

melaniescmelaniesc
in TTC after 35

Has anyone experienced this?

I'm on CD 15, my first cycle after an unsuccessful IVF. On natural cycles I always ovulate somewhere between CD12-14. I'm using my CBEFM and so far I've had 6 high days - I never have this many, it's usually 5 at most before I peak. I've been having some EWCM, but not nearly as much as I usually have and I've also been having some ovulation pain, which I typically don't have.

 I'm sure that the IVF meds are still messing with my body, just wondering when I should hopefully ovulate this cycle and how long people's cycles were. TIA!

    I am so glad you asked this!  I was wondering the same thing.  For me, I'm not going to worry until after tomorrow (Day 14), since I usually ovulate on Day 13 or 14.  But, I was wondering if the suppression meds might still be hanging around, and if they could cause late ovulation.

    Looking forward to the responses . . .

    After my failed FET cycle my period didn't come back for months without help.  Of course I have irregular periods anyway, but it was like the Lupron shut me down for awhile.  I had to jumpstart a few, so it wouldn't be surprising if your ovulation was delayed a bit.  I did some Femara cycles after that and it even with that took me forever to ovulate. Hope it straightens itself out quickly.  GL!

    I have always been regular, until IVF/FET....I have the initial period after the transfer and then.....nothing. I do absolutely nothing until I shoot up some PIO at d35 (my dr makes me wait until then) and restart myself and then I'm back to normal. I don't do this with the IUI cycles, so I wonder if it's lupron or all of the estrace?

    i'm sorry i've had no personal experience with this myself but from what i've read these meds can hang around for awhile and screw with your cycle and sorry to say can cause late ovulation and/or anovulatory cycles.  it is not uncommon to get more than 5 days of highs on the CBEFM.  what it's telling you is your body is getting ready to ovulate.

    are you temping  and charting too?
