Still no period after BCP?!

Ok, I stopped taking BCP on Tuesday...I have my baseline on Monday. Still no period..since this is my first IVF i don't know if I shouldn't worry because the BCP should have kept my lining thin enough OR if I still need to have a withdrawl bleed to make my lining thin.

Has anyone ever had a baseline ultrasound BEFORE they started their withdrawl bleed off of pills?? HELP!!!

They can give you a med to help force your period if needed. I had my baseline b/w and u/s just a few hours after af showed her ugly face. My re told me to come in even if she hadn't shown. She was like 4 days late.

With my last two IVF cycles (both successful, btw!), I never bled after coming off BCP. I simply started stimming 4 days after my last BCP. My RE said you may or may not bleed and that's ok.

Bebedoc~ Your lining wasn't thick at the Baseline U/S or did you not have one?? I'm all for no af as long as my lining is thin lol.

I worried about that as well, but at my baseline u/s, my lining was always thin. By the time I was ready for ER, I had a great thick lining with a triple stripe. Odd, huh? I guess they do what they're doing.
