So, really, how long should I bleed? I'm going on 4 days now, and, it's progressively getting heavier and heavier. I'm a bloody mess! What the hay? And, I just feel icky too. But, if these are "cramps", sign me up. Is this what normal people feel like during their period? But, really, is this my period? Or, am I just shedding blood after stopping the aygestin and starting the Lupron? If I am only on Lupron (20 units) until Friday (then go down to 5), I would think things should be "supressing" though? Trying not to over analyze, but, this girl has questions now!
I have my first US and blood work tomorrow morning. I guess I'll learn more after that. So, what are they looking for? How can they tell your ovary is suppressing? I am very much into researching and knowing what's going on, but, for some reason with this I have been a minimalist. I think the more information I have all at once, the more I get freaked out? At any rate, we are going to watch the Gonal-F and Menopur injection training videos tonight just in case we have any questions. If all goes well tomorrow, I'll start the Gonal-F on Friday, the menopur tentatively for Monday.
I think this post is one long pondering...

Sorry I don't know these answers. But when you find out would you let me know?
LOL, indeed ;)
I have no answers either. Never been down that road. Sending positive thoughts your way.
i had a regular period during my first month of lupron, but we are having totally different lupron experiences. i was using it for the sole purpose of suppression, not for ivf, i only had one injection a month, so, um, for once i don't have any answers for you either! sorry!
I used it for regular supression too...I never did have bleeding issues. That's why I was curious too. Hehe, thanks tho katery!
if they said it was ok to do sq shots in your thigh then i don't see why you couldn't do your gonal f shots there too, but i guess you should probably ask your doctor.
p.s.
if you want to see someone who appears to be having bigger problems post laparoscopy than we did, check out nancy's blog...
