I was so scared to post it - given what I was admitting. Then, this morning, I had tears in my eyes when I read everyone's comments in support of my feelings. And your remark about parents who met in a strip club made me laugh out loud! I can't thank you enough.

I am so excited for you this cycle and think it is great that you will out from under your job and can put all of your energies into Numero Dos. I am curious about how much DHEA you are taking (and is it under your RE's supervision). I take wheatgrass and have read about DHEA, but am not sure on the protocol.<BR/><BR/>Cheers, Ms. PMs. Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01409133656377265127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1049084733820679890.post-6856756427795516952007-08-13T15:43:00.000-07:002007-08-13T15:43:00.000-07:00Whew.

ANd check that she wasn't taking any medications that incease the matabolism of the oestrogens in the pill.<BR/><BR/>Or, simply take action and change to a pill with a higher oestrogen content (as the BTB may signify she is not fully suppressed).<BR/><BR/>GOK what you do when it happens in an IVF cycle, I'm not sure. It probably isn't a major drama unless it gets heavy.Geohdehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084396088622931768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1049084733820679890.post-33434797525198695552007-08-11T18:41:00.000-07:002007-08-11T18:41:00.000-07:00I know exactly what you are talking about.

I had a fairly heavy period for about 3 days, then it tapered off for a day or two, then it went away for 2 days. Since then, I've had some heavy spotting but it's all brown. There are even some small clots (TMI?), but all brown. However, it's almost always there.<BR/><BR/>I emailed my nurse yesterday and asked WTF? She said breakthrough bleeding is very common on BCP (even though I've never experienced it before) and absolutely nothing to worry about. She said keep taking the pills and continue on with the remaining drug regimen until a scan or bloodwork during the stim phase say otherwise.<BR/><BR/>So that's what I'm going to do. Hopefully this stupid bleeding goes away for both of us -- soon!Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037485291342703216noreply@blogger.com
