Carole, We all care on the forum! I am sorry to hear they were so inconsiderate. I know it is common practice to test for pregnancy for Lupron (been there, done that, twice now) but given your situation and history, you think they could just let it slide to save you the stress and emotional pain. I think many people in the medical field have become so hardened by what they see and deal with everyday that they forget to show some kindness once in awhile. Please just know that all of us on the forum are here for you!

Hugs! Amy Meyer
