After surging LH levels for 3 days and ovulation now probably occurring today, I am concerned that the length of time between ovulation and my next cycle will be short and that my body will not have enough time to support the embryo that is planned to be implanted on Friday.
Maybe I am being paranoid but I don’t want to put my little blastocysts at risk. We’ve had 10 cycles now (although I am losing count) so any problems could mean yet another cycle to go through. Even worse, we had planned to have 2 enbryos transferred. Now I am reluctant to have both implanted as my cycle has been really strange this cycle.
For a start, I noticed on day 13 that there was a slight surge in LH levels but not enough to say I was ovulating. Every day after until Saturday, there had been no surge and now I have surged for 3 days. My basal temperature also tells me that I have not yet ovulation. Whilst it is normal for me to ovulate a little late, the fact that my LH levels have been surging for so long is not normal.
I am putting the interruption to my cycle down to the fact that I had been travelling early last week and severely lacked sleep due to the travel in different timezones and the lack of comfortable bed.
So the question is do I change my consent form from 2 embryos to 1 or do I just skip this month and start again the following month? We really haven’t had much luck in the baby department so far so I am reluctant to put my little embryos at risk and head back to the baby making factory for yet another round of IVF.

Hey am sorry the last one hasn’t worked but am glad you are learning to not let it control your life. I am with you on wanting to have a child but if its meant to be its meant to be.
