Spotting with FET? (update in OP)

[babyrn]

Is it normal to have spotting or get a period during your FET cycle? I am freaking out a little! I stopped BCP a week ago and have been on lupron and started vivelle patches on weds. Could it be a medication side effect? I will call the dr in the morning but I am really anxious so if anyone can talk me down that would be great, lol

Update: Thanks for all the reassurance ladies! I really appreciate it. I spoke to the nurse and she said its normal at this point. If it continues or gets heavier by Tuesday they are going to increase my estrogen patches from 2 to 3 though.

I just saw this on the app, and have never done IVF, so take my reassurance with a grain of salt.

Spotting/break through bleeding from my limited knowledge is common during/right after stopping BCPs prior to IVF.

I no it's easy for me to say but just try and stay calm until you talk to your doctor tomorrow, or others give you better advice here. ((Hugs)) IF is hard.

Thanks for responding.  I can't remember if this happened when we did IVF or not.

Lupron will cause a bleed after about a week, IIRC. I started on cd2 and had another period on/around cd10 I want to say? RE told me to expect it. I think if I had started on cd21, I would have expected only to have one.

I haven't done an FET but definitely had a period after being on BCPs for 2 weeks before a fresh IVF. I got to have 2 periods in about 3 weeks that way, lucky me.

Thanks ladies! That is very reassuring. I think I am on day 12 of the lupron.

I would say this is totally normal, then. Especially if you are just coming off BCP (I wasn't).

Yeah, I stopped BCP a week ago. Good to know this is normal!

It's normal. I spotted the entire time I was on BCPs and then bled more several days after I stopped them. It stopped after my estrogen levels went back up.

Glad to hear that your call to the REs office made you feel better.
