Ovulation MIA after HT FET - share your experiences please!

Okay okay I KNOW I need to just wait for my body to get back into gear, and everyone is different, etc. I know this is normal and expected after IVF meds, to have your normal hormones kind of wonky and unpredictable.

Knowing it's all 'normal' doesn't make it easier to be patient though, LMAO!

Okay so, I'm on CD16 and ovulation, or even ramp up to O, is nowhere in sight. I'm so annoyed by my body right now. I get this really weird back and forth on a daily basis where I am dry in the morning (and nonfertile cervix), but then VERY fertile seeming by lunch (EWCM sometimes a little blood tinged, and very SHOW cervix), then creamy/dry and nonfertile cervix by evening. This has been happening for the last 4-5 days now.

It's just frustrating as heck because I get hopeful around lunch, and nope at dinnertime. And I'm going through OPK's like crazy because I have no CLUE when things are going to kick back in, so I'm POAS'ing two OPK's a day at least, and it's going to get $$$ if this goes on for awhile!

Anyways, just curious if any other ladies have come off HT and how long it took to ovulate that first cycle? Anyone not ovulate at all, if so how long for the next breakthrough bleed? I was on 3 weeks of bcp and then a few weeks of Lupron, then estradiol shots for the Lupron.

Right now I feel like a car that keeps stalling!!

It could be 30-45 days.

To ovulate? Drats. I was afraid of that but not really surprised. :sigh: Blergh.

Patience is a virtue, right? LOL Well good thing I found a more internet cheapie OPK's on sale yesterday at $35 for 50, I'm gonna need them if it takes that long to O!!

I still think looking at your chart, things are settling down. FXFXFX for a quick turnaround.

Mine o was always 2 weeks late after my HT cycles so my first proper cycle was around 42 days long!

I surely hope so. I'm hoping that although I'm not O'ing or even really close to O yet, the EWCM means that something's trying to happen. Even if it's sluggish it's a sign that all my hormones aren't totally turned off and asleep! Fx but it sucks having to use OPK's multiple times a day and not really being close to O.


Frilly, thanks! That's what I've read too, that 1-2 weeks late after a failed HT cycle is about average.
