Hey Everyone! I am waiting on AF also! It has been 40 days since my last official AF and 25 days since I stopped my stims (IVF cancelled - no estrogen).
At first they said just to be patient, but enough is enough. They want me to do a HPT and then have blood work tomorrow to see what is happening with my cycle. They probably will put me on Provera. Has anyone had to take this to make AF arrive?
i don't know what Provera is? good luck will all the tests tomorrow and keep us informed of how you get on....
in the meantime here's is an AF jig for Anna MLG and you ( my slight bleeding has gone completely so waiting another 21 days to see if it arrives again)...
love jen

Hi Shell,
I was given provera twice to help AF arrive. The IVF down reg meds I had taken were too strong and my natural progesterone was not enough to start AF. Basically as I understand it provera is progesterone and gives your body a boost to start Af. Mine didn't start straight away. I took it on day 40 and AF arrived on day 57! I can't remember the exact dosage, something like 5mg x3 a day...or was it 10mg? Sorry.
I still don't know if it helped or AF would have arrived anyway. There is no way of telling.
Having had it twice with no side effects I'd say go for it and bring on Af as soon as possible!!! Good luck
I am in need of a bit of a jig myself. I took Provera for 10 days (in the past AF came after only 4 days of Provera). I am meant to start FSH as soon as AF comes, but it's nowhere to be seen! I even did a HPT (just in case..) but no, AF is just playing mind games with me.
So, a little jig wouldn't go astray!
DH is going away tomorrow, so we are having our Valentines dinner tonight...Maybe afterwards we should try out Jen's suggestion!

I know we've said it all before, but it's really not fair. When you don't want AF (b/c you want to be BFP), it comes. When you do want it, it doesn't! ARGH!!!
Next suggestion.....
