If your on Estrace & Prog, you shouldn't get AF , right?

I know, I know... it's probably a dumb question.  I'm on estrogen and progesterone right now... on the second week of my 2ww aftter IVF.  I've felt fleeting cramps a couple of times, but right now I feel more AF-ish cramps than before.  Just wondering if I can be hopeful... ?  Cause I mean, I shouldn't be getting AF on these meds right? 


Sorry, I haven't been posting as much lately... work has got me hoppin' and DH and I had a jam packed weekend!!!

Hope you're each doing well as you can be!

    I am somewhat sure that the progesterone keeps your period from starting. I am 99% sure I am not pregnant but I have to to keep taking the stuff until the BETA on Friday. I would have started today. I am usually pretty regular.

    You can get your period when on those medications.

    The only time I have not bleed through progesterone is when I am pregnant.

    ETA: However, progesterone is known to delay a lot of women's periods.

    I agree that you can get your period on those meds.

    I got mine on Saturday after a negative Pg test on Friday.

     Everyone is different though...stay hopeful and positive.

     I thought AF would be delayed for awhile but I was happy that it come on Saturday so that I could quickly start #2.

    I am someone who did get my period on these medications.  It sucks and can happen :(

    I have done 7 cycles and have gotten AF for 5 of them, so it can happen. I hope it doesn't for you, and I hope you get your bfp :-) Good luck!

    I can only speak about estrace - as I haven't done prog - but I did get AF while on estrogen following my IUI.

     

    m/c#1 07/16/08 (11 weeks), m/c#2 10/10/08 (8 weeks). and then nothing since except every test possible (no answers). IUI#1 and #2: BFNs Super lucky to be buddies with Peetie. Our out of nowhere, surprise DD born 5/29/2011

    I was spotting while being on both estrogen and progesterone, eventhough it wasn't the full flow.
