IVF - BCP protocol - no Lupron ?

Here is a question for the IVFers out there.  This is my fourth IVF cycle, but this is the first one without Lupron.  We did 21 days of the BCP, my last pill being on Wednesday and I am to start my stims tonight.  Should I be getting a period?  I would have thought I would have started my period by now, but I haven't even had spotting.  I guess I'm just concerned that my body isn't doing something it is supposed to be.  I could have sworn when I was on BCP before we tried to get pregnant, that I got my period about 3 or 4 days after my last active pill.

 

TIA

    Sounds like an Antagonist protocol.  I did antagonist for IVF #2 and never got a period.  My RE said some people just don't get one.  Everything was fine at my baseline (E2 was low enough and my u/s looked good) so, I started stims after 3 days of being BCP free.

    GL!

  • I'm doing antagonist right now.  We did 14 days of BCP and I got a FULL period..which shocked me.  They told me that I was supposed to come in on Day 2 of my period and call them if I didn't get it by a certain date.  Did you go in for baseline today?

  • Antagonist protocol - I've done it twice.  You may or may not bleed after the BCPs, but your bloodwork will tell your Dr. what he needs to know.

    GL!!

  • 2006july15bride...I had my baseline on Thursday....the day after my last pill.  They said my bloodwork and ultrasound looked good, except for a cyst that they aspirated on Friday, but they never mentioned a period.  So I didn't know whether to expect one or not.
