Concern over slim chance of pregnancy?
I have severe fertility issues. I have been diagnosed with stage 4 endo.I decided with much thinking to try the Lupron shot, in a effort to control my chronic pain.I currently have an ovarian cyst. Now my husband and I have only gotten pregnant twice in 12 years.Both pregnancies ended in miscarriages. I anticipated that my ob-gyn would still wish to do surgery on me. I met with her July 17, however she prescribed the Lupron 3 month shot instead. I had my first injection july18,2012. My only worry is that my hubby and I were having unprotected sex up until that point. MLP was June 30,2012. With Lupron they tell you to use additional non-hormonal birth control-barrier methods like condoms well on it. I assume it could be very dangerous for a fetus, which is why we are going to begin using condoms again. Should I worry much that I may have gotten pregnant this month? She even gave me a urine test in her office, but I suspect I would have ovulated only a few days ago to a week ago-way too soon to test. Anybody knows what would happen if you take the lupron injection mid-cyle? We have been trying to conceive for 6 years now, I would be very sad if I got pregnant and without knowing took a dangerous drug... however I have been in so much pain, I did not know what else to do. I did seem to get my period on July 30 right on time. But it felt different than usual-less pain and it started then stopped for at least 12 hrs only to start again the following morning. Ultimately, I am hoping that this one 3 month dose of Lupron, will be enough that we could start trying to conceive in jan 2013. My endo is stage 4 though and I also battle with bipolar disorder. I was surprised to see that my bipolar meds are listed under category C during pregnancy but Lupron is listed under category X. Very scary to me.
