Really long cycle after FET

Asunflower - December 6

I recently had a chemical pregnancy through a FET on Oct. 16th My period started on October 23rd. I am now on day 45 of my cycle and have yet to get my period again. I took a HPT and it was negative. Any suggestions as to why my cycle is so late? I have also been involved in IVF cycles back to back since Jan. Could the medications play a role in my irregular cycle? What may be causing this delay and do you have any suggestions to help get me back on track?

Hello,
I'm sorry for the chemical pregnancy. The menstrual pattern that you have described is absolutely normal. It is not uncommon for a person to have a delayed period (1 or more weeks) after an unsuccessful IVF. In other words the person has a bleed about 2 weeks after the ET - or after the HCG level falls from the chemical px. It is then the NEXT period that is the one that is delayed. I know it makes people nuts because thay think that they may have gotten px. on their own - and they do numerous home px. tests that come up neg. Again - this delay is entirekly normal.
Good luck!
Dr. Jane
