Lupron Rashes?

Good morning.  I was on Estrace & Lupron (and Crinone) to see if I was pregnant for a wee, and possibly keep it.  Turned out to be negative :-( but I am still on Lupron.

My question is, I am covered with a rash from head to toe that itches horribly.  I usually have eczema, but now the rash looks like little pimples/hives all over.  I have Atarax for the itching (which outs me out..woosy), and creams, but it won't stop or go away.  

I go in for my first Ultrasound for this round of IUI/IVF..hopefully tomorrow.

Has anyone been covered with the rash from Lupron?  How did you get rid of it?
