IVF Meds Mess With Your System

Sunday, April 15, 2012.

I have now come to the understanding that the IVF medicine’s can really mess with your system.  While I was on the meds my menstrual cycle was  a week early.  This not the norm for me as my cycle is usually right on within a day or so.

Now that I am waiting to start the second IVF cycle of course I am not getting my period.  I was suppose to start my period on or around April 8th.  It is now April 15th and nothing.  I did think for a brief moment, could I actually be pregnant?  I say this because since we are on this break Pete and I have actually felt normal i.e like ourselves again.  We have been intimate a couple of times around the days that I was suppose to be ovulating.

So today I took a pregnancy test and of course there was a small glimmer of hope but it turned out to be negative.

Now I am also unsure if I even ovulated last month.  I usually have really bad ovulation cramps and I do not remember having any.  So, I do think the IVF meds can mess with your system.  I will be talking to the doctor tomorrow about both concerns.
