I never thought I'd post something like this because the obvious answer is "TEST", but I'm two failed IVF's down and am waiting to start my third, and final, IVF cycle. I have a fertility monitor and for the fun of it kept track of my ovulation days and cycle lengths during these two months they require you to take off between cycles. They tell you your cycles will be off (meaning unusually long). The first month my cycle was 35 days, but I didn't have an LH surge until day 20 and 21 and then AF came on Day 35. This month, my LH surge was on day 14 and 15. I am on day 34 today and am crampy, etc, but no AF. No other real symptoms. Boobs are not sore. My back hurts a bit and my lower abdomen feels "heavy". I'm expecting AF any moment and keep going to the restroom to both go and check. It's maddening, but having been in this boat for over a year...seeing a negative pregnancy test is somehow worse. I know I sound insane and am sure I will break down and test, but wanted to see if there were any other IVF'ers out there with the same experience?
