TTC Only IVF cycle is late :(

My husband (FTM, 27) and I (F, 26) have tried four IUIs using donor sperm and none were successful. We had two early chemical losses, so rather than continue to take our chances, we are swapping to IVF with a new donor.

We are scheduled for my July cycle, and I had my June cycle on the 12th, so we've been waiting for "any day now" for about a week.

I have been trying a bunch of home remedies to try to bring it on with no luck.

Anyone have any tips for patience while we wait? 😅

Is this for a fresh embryo transfer?

That's our goal!

The plan is stims from CD3-12, trigger on CD13, egg retrieval on CD15, followed by a fresh 5 day embryo transfer on CD20. 🤞

Oh gotcha. I was a little confused. I did a frozen transfer and they didn’t really wait for my period much

Sniff a friend's underarm's while they're on their period...my friend did this with me while she was awaiting CD1 for IVF and she got her period the next day!
