Re: Bleeding while on LupronFrom: Mindy (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu Nov 30 15:36:44 2006
Erica I did start out taking 2.5mg a day & now I'm up to 10mg a day. I take 5mg in the am & 5mg in the pm. So you may want to ask about this. I've never gone over 10mg a day & it has always worked for me. Glad I could help!! Take Care, Mindy Jo At Wed, 29 Nov 2006, Erica wrote: > >Mindy Jo, > >I am taking 5mg of the Norethindrone.
