Crashing September 4, 2004
I’m really glad that I had a good day yesterday, because today sucks. A lot. I feel like total crap.
I have no clue what’s going on with my body. I had spotting during the BCPs and a few days after but no real period while on Lupron. As reported yesterday, I was given the go ahead to start stims after 15 days on Lupron. Well, guess what? Today I started spotting. What the fuck? I haven’t had any spotting since the 24th and was told that was probably all I’d have since my lining was thin. I have no clue what’s going on. I don’t even know if it’s ok to spot while stimming. I know some people still have some spotting from their Lupron period when they start stims, but this is different. I’ve had nothing for over 10 days, and now this.
My body does not like these drugs. I’m losing it today. My husband is working today, and I had to have him call me just so I wouldn’t completely lose it. I really don’t know how people do IVF time and time again. I don’t even know how I’m going to make it to retrieval. My body’s just ready to quit. Maybe I’m having a harder time with the side effects or something. I don’t know. I’ve always been sensitive to drugs, but this is insane. I can’t wait for this to be over.
So, if anyone has any advice on the whole spotting while on stims issue, please feel free to send it my way. This is so freaking confusing. I just don’t want it to have screwed anything up. God, I’m such a looney tune.
**************
Evening Update: Well, I’m still spotting, and it’s gotten heavier. I wouldn’t call it full flow, but it’s definitely more than I would like to be experiencing. I’m also cramping now, too. God, this sucks.
Thanks for your reassuring comments, ladies. I sure hope you guys are right.

Sorry you are having such a stressful day.
When I did my first IVF, I spotted on the pill, I spotted off the pill, and what they called my period start date was just still more spotting.
I was worried.
This is what my doctor told me. I don’t know what your protocol is but my doctor told me that it didn’t matter.
The spotting or not spotting did not matter to her.

I’ve spotted off and on.. and as long as it’s not major bleeding, don’t worry about it. As long as your lining stays nice and thick, they’ll go forward, spotting or not.
Can you drink a glass of wine?
It is so hard to “relax” and especially when your body is doing weird things and of course it is a weekend.
I would drink a glass of wine. My doctor said that a glass every night wouldn’t hurt anything. I didn’t have one every night……..but when I needed to relax a bit.
I hope you feel better.
Sorry I can’t give you more advise than drink up!
Try not to worry. You will be okay.

I don’t know why this thing is making me sign anonymously. Oh well.
I just found your blog this morning, and I’m so glad I did — it looks like we’re on the exact same schedule! (I started stimming Friday morning and am also concerned about my mental ability to make it to retrieval). As for the spotting/flow, I haven’t had any, but I asked my doctor about it prior to going on Lupron when/if I would get another period. He said I might, I might not, I might just spot periodically, and any of those were fine. It made no difference.
Hope that makes you feel better, and good luck!
