Hi Sue;
It's fairly normal to spot when you first start lupron or zoladex as your uterus thins dramatically due to the lack of estrogen. Same thing happened to me and I was panicked at first that it wasn't working. They checked my estrodiol levels just to be sure but it came back low. The GYN and Onc said it's normal to spot as the uterus thins.
