Just posted this question on the April showers check in.... Started Lupron last Friday for FET and last bcp was Tuesday. Just started AF...is this normal??? I go tomorrow for first bw and us. I am starting to stress about every little thing!
TTC 2 years- Me and DH (28) with (severely) low sperm count- less than 40 total (last 2 SA showed only 5 and 6 sperm each)
IVF #1: ER 1/23/13- 4 eggs retrieved, 3 eggs fertilized; ET with 1 embryo 1/28/13 2 frosties beta #1 2/5 was 4.8- beta #2 2/7 3.5; BFN
FET #1- transferred one beautiful 4AA embie. Praying this is my take home baby. Beta 5/7/13- BFFN!!!
IVF #2: ER 7/17/13: 6R/3F- transferred 1 blast and 1 10 cell embryo 5dt.   Beta hell.  #1 2.5, #2 2.2- BFFFN! REALLY?
IVF #3: ER 12/1 and only 2 retrieved.  1 fertilized with ICSI.  Was planning on transferring one fresh and one frozen....fresh was only 14 cells at day 5...CANCELLED and devastated due to 5cm blood filled cyst in ovary and blood in uterus.
IVF #4: Antagonist protocol with endometrial scratch day one of stims.  ER 4/21: 6R/4M/3F- transferred 2 beautiful blasts (5dt) and one was hatching!  No frosties but hoping we won't need it!  Beta 5/4/14- 444(8dp5dt), Beta #2 10dp5dt 1002!  THIS HAS GOT TO BE IT!!!!!!!!!!  First US 5/15 we saw two of the most beautiful gestational and yolk sacs I have ever seen!

    Yes, it is normal to get a period on Lupron.  I had one after stopping BCP while on Lupron; it was lighter than normal but definitely a period.  In fact I am on Lupron now for a FET and I'm supposed to start estrogen when I get my period so it's

    I got my period about a week after starting my Lupron. My RE also said that some women do and some don't. Both are normal and an IVF cycle can be done either way.

    Siggy

     

    I was told that I probably would get my period, but never did.  But I was also on Lupron.  I think stopping BCPs is what clues your body into to having a period, but I could be wrong.  Everything about this whole
