During the Lupron down regulation cycle of IVF, my wife had a stroke. She was only 29 years old. We started a blog to capture each moment. If you are considering IVF, please visit our site.

Well...

After many failed attempts to get pregnant, we figured IVF was the next logical choice. We chose our Doctor and began the treatments. My Wife was giving her self Lupron injections when she was overcome with severe headaches. I woke up one morning to find her speaking gibberish. Long story short...she had a stroke which was contributed to the Lupron Injections prescribed by her Doctor.

that's scary and very complicated. did you ever confronted her doctor about the situation she was going through? coz that is really not a joke and should be given a very serious attention.

there must be a big mistaken prescription or the doctor might not be aware that she could have complications having the lupron injection. i would suggest you would go to have a check in a specialist that would know better and would suggest alternatives and things to do with this situation.
