Early AF with injectibles?

in Fertility Medications
Hey guys...need some advice. The day before my last TWW (cycle 1 with donor) I started spotting. The day I was supposed to POAS, AF arrived! I have PCOS and have NEVER been one to have early periods. Throughout the years, I've even been known to skip periods completely for up to a couple of months. Since 2009, when DH and I began fertility treatments, my period has been somewhat regular, usually between 30-44 days each cycle....again NEVER early! Unfortunately, my first donor IUI cycle was BFN.

Here is my protocol - Femara, 5 evenings of 75 units of Follistim and then HCG trigger.

When I started this cycle, I brought up the fact that my period came an entire week early to my doctor and they told me it could be due to the new medications. They also told me that my progesterone levels could have been a little low...so this cycle I am on Progesterone vaginal capsules (I think 200mg). I am only 3dpiui so we shall see how this cycle turns out. I am hoping that AF doesn't show this cycle, but if she does...hopefully it's not a week early! Anyone had this happen before?

    Hello waiting,

    I can't say I've ever been in a similar situation, since I get my period pretty regularly, and am having different fertility issues. But I just wanted to lend my support, and ask how you are doing this cycle? Did I miss a post somewhere else about it is going for you? I DO have a hard time moving around this forum, hope the make-over is easier for me to figure out!

    Wishing you all the best,

    for me af would usually arrive before I poas. just like you a day before. there was only once that it did not show up before I was supposed to test. I don't know if it was due to injectables or not but I was on them.

    Lots of baby dust.

    My cycle also shortened by a day or two with all the meds. I've always been like clockwork and have no identified fertility issues other than age (damn getting older). It could very well be the meds. I always got AF the day before or the day I was supposed to POAS except for one unmedicated round in a month where I did have some cysts
