If you had a "lupron period" - what was it like? When? etc.

I started Lupron on Thursday night, so I guess I will get a lupron period here soon.  If you had one, how long did it last?

When did it come after starting lupron?

Thanks

1/11: IUI #2 = 5mg Femara + trigger + IUI = BFN

    Oh wow!  That was quick for you then.  I guess I should wear some light underwear so I know when it's actually here.  (TMI).

    My Lupron period was one day of heavy spotting.  Then light spotting for a day or 2. I didn't even think it was my period so I called my RE and hte nurse said that was most likely my period.

    What if I don't get a lupron period, will they still start my stims?

    I didn't have lupron (antagonist) but they expected a period between my BCP and my stims- I was supposed to come in on CD3 and even scheduled it like I'd start my period normally the day after going off the BCP. I didn't have a period though and the nurse told me that as long as my baseline numbers were fine- they'd get me started anyway. Said it was fairly common and my numbers were excellent and I started stims that night. So technically I'm on like day 40 of a cycle including my 21 days of BCP but we're counting it like I started a period normally.

    My first cycle I got my period on my 6th day of being on Lupron.  This time, I got it on my 8th day of being on Lupron.  It was a normal period, normal flow, normal time frame.

    Does that mean it is possible to get your lupron period even after starting ivf stims?

    I started Lupron on a Saturday and had some heavy bright red bleeding for about a half day.  I can't remember how long after I started the Lupron that I had the period.

    They wouldn't let me start stims or go in for baselines without having my period first.

    I always thought the lupron period was caused by stopping bcp, not the lupron. Does the lupron cause a period too?

    I have always gotten my lupron period about 3-4 days after my last bcp. It has always been a fairly normal period, but a little lighter from being on bcp.
