Lupron and IVF: Understanding Post-Injection Bleeding

Question
Hello Doctor,
I started my IVF cycle Friday, Sept 5th with my 1st Lupron injection taken that night. I was put of the BCP prior starting the Lupron for 21 days and was asked to stop taking the pills last Wednesday (couple days before the 1 st dose of Lupron). Anyway, I was asked to call the office the 1st day of my MC. I started bleeding yesterday and called the nurse but last night and today, the flow is reduced to spotting (red to brown). Is this normal ? (caused by Lupron?) Can this still be considered as a MC ? Will this light bleeding interfere with starting the stim drugs?

Thanks,
Nathalie

Hello,

Just to let you know I'm not a doctor, but signed up to be an expert on this site due to my own experiences and knowledge.  I'm also beginning an IVF cycle, without Lupron.  I was told that the period you get after stopping the pill is usually a light period as it's not a "real" period.  This shouldn't interfere with your other medications.
