Lupron & delayed period?

Gisele · 09-06-2008, 03:50 PM

Hi everyone! I am currently on day 11th on lupron and stopped taking BCP 6 days ago. What concerns me is that I still do not have my period. On the last day of BCP I had just slight spotting but that's it. I also developed yeast infection, so I am currently on 3-day Monistat (my nurse told me it's OK to take it). Last Thursday (day 9 of lupron) I was scheduled on bloodwork and usg. The lining looked fine but hormones levels were elevated. According to my calendar I supposed to decrease Lupron to 10 units on that day and start estrace same evening. Due to the problem with hormones level, I was told to hold on with with estrace and keep taking 20 units of lupron until Monday, 09/08 (day of next bloodwork & usg). When I asked the nurse if that situation can delay the whole process she said that hopefully not, but I am really afraid right now. Our donor supposed to start her medications on Monday (9/8). She accepted new position out of state, so we were told that with this donor we need to start cycling promptly and initially it was OK with us. Unfortunately now when I have delays, I am afraid that they will start her medications and upon eggs retrieval I will not be ready, so we will end up with no choice but to go with a frozen cycle. The last thing that also makes me nervous is that in opposite to my prep cycle, while I had night sweats, heart palpitations and headaches, now in my real cycle I feel perfectly fine....I have a lot of energy and I sleep as a baby. It's really confusing....
Thank you for reading my post and I really appreciate any thoughts that you might have.
Good luck to everyone on your journey!!!

According to the paperwork that my RE gave me, you can expect your period between days 8 - 16 on Lupron.

Best of luck to you!

My sister is our donor and she was on 10units of lupron and when she finally went in for her u/s it was 9 days after she started and we are firm believers that the u/s probe started her flow =]

try not to worry it will come and I have heard from other ladies that it took them even longer than it did with my sister.

Best of luck.
