Question: FET cycle, No AF yet, TMI warning

Good evening ladies. So I had my ER in March (the 3rd I think), had one cycle, and am supposed to be entering into my transfer cycle now. My last BCP was on Monday, the RE thought AF would arrive Wednesday, which is about when it usually comes when I am in BCP. It's Saturday night and it still had not come. I have had light, brown clumpy discharge since about Thursday, nothing like a typical AF - today there was just a tiny bit of red blood. I have also had cramping like I normally have on cd2 today. I'm so confused. I called the dr on Friday but missed their call by seconds and when I called back their phones were already in night mode. She left a vm saying not to start estrogen patches on Monday but to wait until my apt on Tuesday. 

Has as anyone had this delay in AF? I am worried that something is wrong - I did have a cyst, but at my check up a week or so ago it was pretty much gone. I also received the Lupron Depot shot last Friday (the one before yesterday). I am scared we are going to be delayed longer.

    My period after BCP was definitely not at all a normal period for me. It was later than I exoected (by a couple days I think) and started and stopped a couple times with no real flow. I started a low dose of Lupron a few days later so it sounds like my protocol is slightly different than yours.

    First RE Appt - September 2015
    DX: Hypothyroid, DOR

    It took me a week to start AF after stopping BCPs, and I didn't have my usual pre-AF symptoms at all.  I googled the specific kind of BCPs I was prescribed (aygestin) and most of the websites said you should start AF within a couple days after stopping it, but my body didn't decide to do what the norm is, I guess.  I'm not sure if what I said is helpful at all, but maybe your body is just taking a little longer and everything is normal!  Hang in there.

    Thank you for the responses - it looks like it started, it's just no where near similar to a typical cycle.
