Has anyon here been on LUPRON??

I just found out today that I have Stage 1 Endo. My Dr. wants to start me on Lupron for 3 months... My questions is, has anyone here ever been on it for treating or helping with endometriosis, and if so what can I expect?

congratulations! Believe me, after over 2 years of trying to conceive, I'll take all of the effects u listed. Did u try for a long time to conceive? (just curious) and also how long did u have to wait to start trying again after the last dose?

oh yeah baby, i’ve been there!!!
I was put on Lupron for 2 months before my lap surgery to remove my fibroid and endo. It worked wonders for me! desintegrated the fibroid and reduced the endo, they just lasered off the remains...
now I am preggy after 3 months post laparoscopy!!!
Expect lots of moodswings, hot flashes, tiredness, shortness of breath, some sadness, forgetfulness..... and bad back ache...
Believe me tho, i am a total wimp! but if i did it, you will no problem!

Good luck!

I was on it for suppression the weeks before we did IVF. I did fine on it but got hot flashes from it is all. However, when I had my period the weeks following being on it it was the worst period cramping EVER. I almost went to the ER because it was so bad.

I wasn't on it, but not for endometriosis. My gyno used a laser to take care of it. I was on it for ovulation suppression instead of antagon. It worked awesome for the fertility treatment. They were able to retreive 25 eggs. What can it do for endometriosis?
