    When should I expect AF?

    Hi all,
    I am going a bit crazy at the moment. Today is day 14 since epu and day 12 since embryo transfer. All weekend I have been having cramping and expecting AF to arrive but so far she hasn't.
    My blood test is in 2 days and at embryo transfer my fs said if AF has not arrived by day 12 then we should feel pretty optimistic. Is this the case? Has anyone not gotten AF and then had a negative blood test?
    These last days are so hard, thanks in advance for your help!!

    Cadence, Wishing you - you could always request an early BT if you don't want to wait any longer, my clinic was happy for me to have the BT on day 13.

    good luck Cadence. I would probably do a HPT if it was me because I tend to be impatient!
    It does seem a good sign you dont have AF. With my failed IVF cycle, AF arrived two days before the blood test (which was 11 days after a Day 5 transfer)
    Fingers crossed

    I hope the lack of AF is a good sign for you. At this stage I'd be very tempted to POAS. I'm not much of a POAS'er but I did test at 11dpEPU for my first IVF.

    For my first IVF AF arrived at 14dpEPU (ie before the b/t). But for #2 we added some pregnyl booster shots and AF arrived about 12 hours after the negative beta (17dpEPU).

    Thank you all for your responses!
    I am getting anxious, was taking no AF as a good sign but then throught that maybe the crinone delays AF from arriving? Anyway have still resisted doing a hpt just want to hold onto the hope for a little longer I guess..
    Anyway thanks again, will let you know how it all pans out!

    Hello lovely ladies,
    Just thought I would pop in with an update. Had my blood test this morning and nurse rang about an hour ago- it is positive!!! I still cannot believe it, am in shock. I burst into tears on the phone (luckily the nurse was really lovely). She said that my hcg level is 565 which she said is good.
    I was praying and willing this to happen but don't think I will really believe it until ultrasound.
    Thanks for your support xx
