Starting an IVF cycle shortly; and feeling very anxious. My period, which is usually within 25-28 days hasn’t started yet. It is 14 days late (and no, I am not pregnant :). My doctor had me patching 4 estrogen patches everyday for 10 days.
Has anyone else gone through this? Delayed period because of IVF stress? Or delayed period because of estrogen patches?
I don’t know what to make of all of this. Any help/ guidance would be great!

Estrogen is going to delay your period, very normal.

I was really delayed while in estrogen patches. I think I was 16 days late and they took two blood hcgs to make sure I wasn't pregnant.

Yes, it was a good cycle!

Thank you!

I’m depressed. Nothing unique about my depression - I’m in big law, my career defines me, when I’m not working I can’t find the will to get off the couch, I’m sad or I’m numb…I know I’m the only one that can make a change to my life…I’m on antidepressants. Just extremely unmotivated and paralyzed. Self-help books are not for me, but I am curious - has anyone tried a guided depression/anxiety journal? Any recommendations if so?

I started my 1st egg freezing cycle last night and I took: 225 iu Gonal F, 150 iu Menopur, 5mg of Letrozole. Day 2 should be the same. Is this a high dose for someone with 3.7 AMH?

Just asked my clinic about storage costs for my one embryo. The billing coordinator wrote that the cost is 41000 annually regardless of how many embryos. I nearly fell out of my chair. Luckily we confirmed there was a “typing error”. It’s $1000 😂🤬🤪

Looking for advice. My wife and I knew we had to go the surrogacy route to grow our family. However, recently we learned that we may also have to go the donor egg path.

I feel selfish that for me genetically linked and similar looking children is important. Anyone with thoughts/experiences to share? Tx
