Why isn't AF coming?? Down reg on long protocol

Post by janem »

Dear ALL

Please help.......I'm doing the long protocol (1st timer) and have started to down reg. I started sniffing 7 days before my expected AF date. AF now is overdue (3 days)and I keep getting the AF symptoms and nowt happens. I've done a preg test but its neg (not surprised). I've rung the clinic and they've told me to hang on over the weekend and ring again on Monday if AF hasn't come. I may need a blood test /scan :shock: I don't understand. Is the down regging drug not working? Anyone else had a late or no AF? Can someone explain? :shock:

Please help....my stress levels I'm sure are delaying it even more :roll:
Thanks jane

Hi Jane

I'm sorry I can't answer your question as I have a different protocol. I start down regging on day one of my AF and don't get an AF during my treatment at all.

The irony of waiting for AF to arrive is amazing. When we have to start TMT we are desparate for AF to arrive and get really fed up when it doesn't show up and then when we are on the 2ww we are paranoid that AF should arrive and pray to God it doesn't. What a mind bender eh? :roll:

Hope things sort themselves out for you soon and then you can get going.

Love Dagny xkx

Jane,

It is normal for AF to be delayed when doing a long protol, I think that I was about 5 days late.

I was probably like you and the panicking delayed things even more

Good luck with the treatment.
