I was on the Lupron shot twice, once for 3 months and once for 4 months. The shot was prescribed after both of my stage 4 endo surgeries. The worst side effects for me were weight gain, acne, and irritability!!! It is a shot I would prefer not to get again. I don't know if it helped or not, but 4 months after I stopped the shot, and of course taking infertility shots and IUI, I got my baby boy!!!

I took it twice the first time for months and the second time for year on the adivice of my Dr. needless to say it did not help after months after my last shot I was in pain again I was never able to get pregnant and I had to have a hysterectomy in Jan of this year.

I went through 2 rounds of Lupron for my endo. This drug helps some women, but my symptoms became worse while on the drug; there was some improvement to my endo after the drug was out of my system. It was too harsh for me. I'd been diagnosed w/ endo since 1994, had 3 laps in addition to the Lupron and this year I had a hysterectomy. There needs to be better alternatives for pain management for this disease besides what is currently out there.

Although Lupron did ease my pains of endometriosis, The horrible hot flashes and throbbing headaches were so not worth it! It also increased my blood pressure, and I hardly went anywhere because I never knew when I'd break out in pools of sweat, or in uncontrollable sobbing. Lupron destroyed my life faster in 6 months than endo in a lifetime. This should NEVER be an option!

Spreading the word is also a huge help, if you know of anyone who may be struggling with this disease. Here's a link to a brochure that you can print out or email to friends and family who might like to know a little bit about the study:
