Very late cycle following OHSS last month... any ideas ?

Post by browny181 »

Hi everyone
We had our first attempt at IVF a couple of months ago. I responded well to the drugs, too well in fact, producing 26 eggs..... 23 have gone on to become embryos (!) but the doctor's advised freezing them as the amount of eggs I had presented a risk of OHSS.
So I didn't have any put back, and went on to develop mild OHSS anyway.
I had a period 11 days after my egg collection.
We were advised to wait another complete cycle (which is where we are now), then attempt a natural cycle FET on the following one.
So at present we're waiting for this period to start so that we can arrange scans etc. for the FET process to begin.
However, I'm now day 40 of this cycle, and still no show of my period.
We've done a pregnancy test, but unfortunately it's negative.
I normally have a cycle length of 35 days.
Does anyone have any experience of cycles being longer or delayed following egg collection or mild OHSS ?

Any advice gratefully received !
Thanx x x :) :)

I find that my AF does arrive late after a stimulation cycle. I am usually 26-28 days and after each IVF it has jumped to 30-32 days. Hopefully yours will arrive any day.
Best of luck. I just started my FET on Sunday so I am just a little ahead of you. Let me know when you start!

Hi Browny181,

I have experienced a similar situation like this today myself, I went for egg retrieve they collect 23 eggs and after recovery they stated my E2 levels were to high to transfer. I beleive I had mild OHSS also, I am very bloated and my BB's are tender. Can you please tell me how you proceeded after the retrieval. My DR is saying wait to Dec or Jan to proceed due to the holiday's *#@ whatever that means. I will contact him tomorrow due to me wanting to just leave out today but it will be FET doing that time. :twisted:

Hi, I had my retrieval yesterday and due to the amount of follicles I knew I would not be doing a fresh transfer. There were 31 eggs retrieved, 21 of them fertilized that will be frozen today, so I will be doing a FET probably around the middle of this month. My RE did not say we had to wait a full cycle before we start, just that we could start the FET at my next bleed, so long as my ovaries were not too large.
Me 34, DH 40
