Lupron/bcp period

in Infertility
For those doing IVF with the Lupron/BCP overlap after stopping the bcp did you have a regular period? I thought I was starting a period today but it is nothing like my usual. Just curious what others have experienced. My RE told me I may or may not have a period after stopping the bcp..

    I had a regular period, but it took 6 days after stopping BCP to get it.

    Last Thursday was my lat bcp and I am spotting brownish color now, I felt like AF was full blown but its only when I wipe. Tmi I know but just laying it out there like it is lol. My RE nurse said that it didn't matter what it was like that they are getting the response they need..hmm. I go Wednesday for the suppression check so anxious to see how everything looks!

    I know, I think its weird. Its super light but definitely red bleeding. I'm thinkingit should start getting heavier after this afternoon, like a true withdrawal bleed.

    I start Lupron in 6 days and have a 2 day overlap. The bcp is making me spot, so my RE had me double the dose until it stops. Anyone else have this issue? It's nice to know I'm not alone...thank you ladies for sharing your experiences :
