Lupron start question
Can you start Lupron even if you didn't ovulate that cycle? Just wondering as DH & I were so ready to get started!
I forgot to ask the IVF nurse...I go back Monday for blood to see if I ovulated.

Re: Lupron start question
There are many protocols for IVF but I don't think you can start Lupron before you O.....if you were on BCP before then yes, you can start Lupron without O since the BCP controls your cycle....but otherwise you need to wait to O naturally....
I also found this on the web (very ineresting)
Lupron is a GnRH-agonist that is used with in vitro fertilization (IVF) to synchronize egg development and prevent ovulation from occurring early, before the eggs can be retrieved. If Lupron is started before ovulation, large ovarian cysts can occur. As these cysts can delay the start of IVF treatment, it is better to wait until about a week after ovulation to minimize the risk of cyst formation.
HTH!

I agree with this. I don't O on my own, so both my IVF cycles I was on BCP to control my cycle so they could assign a start date for that cycle.
