AF after failed cycle

How long does it generally take AF to arrive after stopping estrogen and progesterone (after a FET, if that matters...)??

We leave for Disney in 14 days.  Just trying to plan for that.

    I usually get mine anywhere between 2-5 days after stopping meds but I've heard some women can take up to a week. Hopefully by the time you leave for Disney AF has come and gone!

    Hey ladies- has anyone ever gotten AF before they're even done w the progesterone? I have three more days of prog and estrogen pills and yet I started AF today. And if so, did you finish out the pills or stop taking them? I have a call into my RE's office to get the official word but I'm curious if anyone here has been in this situation. 

    I'm pretty happy about it actually, this means we can ttc sooner than expected :)

    I did after my first IVF cycle when I was on suppositories - they had me come in the following day for bloodwork to make sure before they told me to stop taking it for that cycle, so would recommend waiting for your RE to confirm before you do anything.  Good luck!

    I always stopped if I got to full flow with the suppositories, too gross.

    This. I would call my RE to set up the next cycle same day and they always told me to stop if it was full flow/CD1.

    Hasn't happened to me but then again I am a bad patient and I stop them when I have a reason to trust my negative hpt. Otherwise I'm sure I'd find myself in the same position! (Call doctor but intuition would say stop them? But TW------- I had a FULL period twice days before 2 eventual m/c..... So really you never know).
