What is going On? Femara/Ovidrel

I am on CD29, 15dpo Trigger shot.  I normally have a 28cd.  Technically was supposed to start yesterday.  Spotted very little yesterday.  Nothing today but I feel so sick. I'm hot, bloated feeling, congested but I ate very little.  Very uncomfortable.  Could it be the femara.  Although, I did not have any side effect while taking the femara, this is the first time I have been late with my cycle in years.  What is going on.  I have taken 4 hpt's all said neg even the First Response kind today.  What is going on did femara push my cycle back?  Oh, but I do feel like I'm on my cycle.  I was crampy last nite.  Gassy the night bfore.  Stomach is churning like I'm hungry in the middle of the night and I can't sleep through the night.

If you got the shot on CD15, you are supposed to 'o'...what? 36 hours from then? So that would have you 'o'ing on CD17?  Do you know how long your LP is? If you would have started on CD28, that would only be an 11 day LP (kinda short...)

You really need to have an idea of what your LP is to know when AF is due. The 'average' is 14, so that would have you starting on CD31?

Hope this helps!

I only took Femara once...no side effects really, but I had a 49 day cycle and I don't think I ever o'd.  I kept going in and they said "looks like it just released".  I would have positive OPK's and go in for a sonogram and they never saw one ready to release.  Sorry if this isn't helpful.  I would tell your RE that you need a blood test, it is your choice.

Hello.. are you on any progesterone supplements?? well i would just give it some time and retest in a few days if AF is still not there.. sometimes people can have delayed ovulation even with a trigger shot and you may have ovulated later than you think.. femara didn't delay my periods in the past, however i was always on progesterone so as soon as i stopped that then AF would come! GOOD LUCK! keep us updated!
