My cycle started around Dec. 14. I went in for blood work on Monday and the nurse said my progesterone level was 3.1 which means I probably ovulated recently. The dr. wants me to take Lupron this cycle along with Menopur and said I should start the Lupron on Saturday.  My cycle has been somewhat off, typically 28 days but has been shorter, which means my cycle should start again on Jan. 10. This past month I ovulated too early and had to end the cycle. I am starting to feel cramping and I wonder if starting the Lupron on Saturday could jeopardize the effectiveness of the Lupron.  Does anyone know if taking the Lupron while you have your cycle still suppresses your system and what a progesterone level of 3.1 truly means (did I ovulate a day ago or a week ago)?

Thanks!

I have not used Lupron, but I know that many of the ladies here have. I just wanted to wish you GOOD LUCK!
