Ladies,

I am on my 4th week of down regulatung. Is it normal to be spotting blood? I'm not meant to have a period until 14th November. But if I am down regulating I won't have a period will I?

Thanks x

Hi NDE - I'm sure I did when down regulating on long protocol but not once I was in the stimulation phase. Call your clinic for your reassurance :) x x x

Thank you momma bear. Hopefully I can be on the stimming stage soon. Feel like I'm ruining my chances by down regulating for so long :(

Hi NDE1987 you ar meant to bleed in your down regulation phase, this helps your lining get thin (as a normal period would) so hopefully the drugs are doing they're job. I had a struggle to down regulate last time too and they upped my drugs so maybe they'll look at doing something like that for you?!xx

Hi Cinderella, hopefully they will! I am going to speak to them in my appointment this Friday. I had my period on the 16th October so was a bit confused as to why I was spotting now. I also have a cyst which they are monitoring. Fingers crossed! X

When did you start your down regulation drugs? Is this the first scan that you've had? I had a small cyst too and it grew a little whilst stimmulation but not too much!xx

Iv been stimming since the 7th October!! Ages! On 0.5 of bursellin (supercur) this will be my third scan on Friday. I have a cyst 6cm in size and it doubled since the week before. Hoping its gone by this Friday. X

Oh no that's rubbish! I started on the nasal spray which didnt work last time then had to swop to injections 0.5 of buserelin twice a day which made me feel rubbish so I feel for you! Hopefully you get better news at your next scan, you dont feel so lowsy once they let you start stimming. Lots of luck!xx
