Just wondering if anyone else had any thoughts.

I am even more confused than ever... Today is cd42 (or 43!! Can't remember!) No AF yet.

I had no more spotting after what I described in my op. Except on about cd34 I had one single fleck of blood.

I did HPTs on cd 24, 28 and 37. All negative. So the bleeding couldn't have been ovulation (because AF would be here by now) and not implantation (because I would have had a positive HPT).

So to sum it up

Time for some blood tests?

Have you had any recent signs of ovulation? It may be delayed or you're having a long, annovulatory cycle. Or you are pregnant but HPTs are working for you, which happens for some women.

I have a friend who has done IVf a few times. Her hormones are all over the place and her cycle can be over 80 days. She recently found out she had abnormally high prolactin levels. I'm not saying that's what you have, I have no idea. Just saying, maybe get some tests.

some sort of hormonal fluctuation

Thanks guys

Tashy - it's definitely not prolactin. I got tested for that at the beginning of this cycle and it was normal.

MadB - i suspect you're right. I can't explain it any other way.

I keep thinking my period is coming. I have had mild cramps and lower backache on and off for a couple of weeks. My nipples are sore when I push on them but my boobs aren't aching. I am retaining fluid in my legs. CD 43 today...I just want my period to start so I begin another IVF cycle!!!!!!

Its so frustrating hey. I just wish there was an easy way to know what was going on.

Have you done any more HPTs?
