Continuous BCPs

I started BCPs on September 28, and my medication start date is scheduled for October 29.  I looked at a sample IVF calendar, and it showed Lupron starting on CD 21.  If you are already on BCPs, can they just start you on Lupron when they are ready to begin their series and not on a particular CD?

Yes.  I have been on BCPs since 9/13.  I will take them 5 weeks (last week overlapping with Lupron).  My RE only requires 3 weeks on BCPs, but we are extending do to scheduling issues - my RE is going to a conference and I don't want to see another RE.  I will start Lupron on CD34 of BCPs.

I feel better.  I assumed that was the case, but it's one of those gray area things I didn't really understand in the packet.  I think I'll have a lot less questions once I go in for my hysteroscopy next week.  I can blast them with all of my freak outs.

I started lupron 5 days before I stopped BCPs.
