Last period was 27th January. This was also after taking norethisterone. Sorry, I have not been taking menopur( my mistake) but have been down regulating with suprecur (bureselin) since the 19th February. I am due fir a scan and to start menopur on Wednesday 4th march
Brief Answer:
Hormonal variation due to Buserelin
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This is common problem in women undergoing down regulation for IVf.
There is down regulation of hormones ( gonadotrophins) which sometime interferes with body hormones like progesterone and prevent the withdrawal bleeding.
Taking Buserelin is likely to have delayed your periods.
You can continue with stimulation from 4th though no periods. Let periods come little later which does not affect your stimulation.
Let me know if you need any more clarifications.
