you might want to contact your doctor. if the bleeding gets heavy, like
a pad and hour or so, let them know as soon as you can. i never had a
period while on lupron, but i spotted for 7 weeks straight. my doc
finally gave me 2 weeks of premarin, and the spotting stopped. when i
went off lupron (only took it for 3months, i wussed out), i had a little
bit of breakthrough bleeding, but no more. i'm on continuous birth
control pills, so i still haven't had a period yet. and i'm scared for
when i do have one. i'm supposed to in a month or so. yikes.
hope you get some relief.
