Can someone please help, I have had 3 weeks of Buserelin and I had my normal period on the 30th Sept which lasted 5 days as normal, then

today I have had more red and brown come through when I wipe after going to the toilet, is it normal to have some more bleeding a few days after your normal period has been and gone, I am also due for my first scan in the morning.

Not sure if its 'normal' or not but same thing happened to me, i had bleeding for about 5 days after my usual period ended.

Hi Danielle

Remember that the Buserelins' job is to switch off your hormones and then help your body to have a bleed so that it thins your womb lining and quietens down your ovaries - this is a big ask of our bodies so they won't always behave exactly as we want them to. i would see it as a good thing that you've had some more bleeding, its just a sign that your body had a 'bit more to get rid off' (sorry, couldn't think of a better way to put that!).

I'm cycling in Spain this time and they down regulate differently - i went on the contraceptive pill for a few weeks (umm, ironic after 4 years of secondary infertility, to go on birth control!) and then you have one big injection of something called Prostap which induces a bleed - and I have to say, I'd been spotting for most of the time I was on the pill, before I even had the jab!! It all sorts itself out in the end!

So don't worry, I know its all new and scary but the human body is so unpredictable and not one is the same!

is your scan tomorrow? I'm sure it will be fine - and then the really exciting bit starts!! xx
