I'm gearing up for my first IVF cycle in July and I am on day 12 of Lupron injections (10 units).
Starting yesterday, I have developed a strange skin rash on the inside of my upper arms, neck and chest. I thought it was a heat rash, but I have not been hot. I am currently treating it with hydrocortisone to control the itch.
I called my nurse earlier and she said it is not very common with Lupron, but to evaluate it through the weekend and come in on Monday, if not better.
Any ideas?

I plan to go to the dr on Monday, but I am concerned that if I have to stop the Lupron that this might affect my upcoming IVF cycle. I've heard of some people not going through Lupron, but what other alternatives have you used for suppression? I still have a couple more weeks before I begin stims.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
