Default Anyone have a late period due to Femara?

I'm 14dpo, no AF and negative HPT but BBT is higher than ever. My RE says that due to the hormones, etc. I have to wait for a beta for several more days...

I am just hoping that someone else has some experience they can share?

They won't let me get a beta until CD35! Can you believe that? If I'd had a positive HPT they'd do the beta now but without a BFP they won't. Doesn't make sense to me but who am I?

enigma74-I started AF on CD 26 which was 15 days after trigger, but a 14 day LP. I think things are looking good and cannot wait to see what your test shows in the morning!

WOO HOO...I hope this is it for you!
Yep, I took Femara CD2-6 and then triggered on March 12. Figure O was March 13. CD 1 was March 27. I think you said your normal LP is 14 so that shouldn't change just from the trigger.
This could be a really good thing!

I have but I gotten cysts from Femara and that tends to delay my period. But your chart looks great and I didn't have that !!! I just had a delayed period. Good luck!

I ALWAYS was late with Femara...18 day past trigger vs 14 days past trigger with Clomid...If you don't start AF tomorrow it's gotta be BFP...Good luck!
