did the lupron shot help you? for me it worked for like 3 months... then the last month quit working... :( Im in constant pain and dont know where to go from here... I go see a endocronologist (sp?) on monday... hopefully he will be able to help me... :(
I was on Lupron for 6 months. I was pretty much pain free during those months. My period hasn't even returned yet, and I am having a little bit of pain now and again. They said the surgery and lupron was supposed to provide like 5 years of pain relief, but I think it's already coming back. Have you been put on constant birth control, like a pill or patch? When I was on that and not getting periods, that seemed to help. Have you tried that??
I havent tried birth control since I got off the lupron shot... before I started doing the shots... I was on birth control and it didnt do anything... I had surgery in Jan. and it didnt do ANYTHING.... :(
Were you on it continuously and skipping your periods?
I had a laparoscopy - 6 mos of Lupron shots - and another lap. It took me several months for my cycle to return and I was then put on Premarin. What dosage of Premarin are you on? My dosage is .625 per day.
Hope things get better for you......

I think it's the same amount, I am on it for 25 days, and then on aygestin for days 16-25. How long did it take you after your second lap and treatment of Premarin to get your cycle back? They say after the 25 days of Premarin, I should get a period between 2 days and 2 weeks. Hopefully closer to 2 days !!
Hi there. I had a laparotomy due to the presence of a 6 cm cyst with the chance of being cancer, last December. It turned out it was an endometriomasa and the doctor was able to drain it without removing the ovary and I was given a 3-month Lupron shot.
They did a transvaginal ultrasound and ran the CA -125 marker, three months after the surgery and there were no signs of any kind of cysts or adhesions. The marker came in the normal range and now, 6 months after surgery, my period came back without taking any meds and although I have some pain and are bloated, the doctor says it's normal and that I should take something for the stomach pain and enzymes to feel better.
I think that the body has to react and go little by little to its normal functions and I feel quite well considering all that I went through.
Hope this info helps and best wishes.
