Hi. I was on an IVf cycle recently, Period started Jan 12th, Meds began Jan 14th. I was put on a hold (stop meds) as my estrogen wasn t rising according to the doctor. My cycle is always 28 days. so it was due on Friday. I have been having breast tenderness and headaches for the last week. My meses has still not started, not am I having an pain or cramping as usual. Any insight?

Hi,
Your symptoms are not specific for an early pregnancy; they could be premenstrual as well. You may wait for your cycle for a couple of days and then go for a pregnancy test or if you wish for an earlier confirmation, go for a serum beta-hCG assay and a trans-vaginal sonogram after a couple of days. Please contact your consultant for further suggestions. Take care.
