Fourth shot symptoms and conditions

I am twenty years old and was doing great with birth control pills until I formed 2 cysts that ruptured. He tried five different pills and none of them worked. I still formed cysts and they all ruptured. My mom had adynemosis which is the worst kind of endo. So he did a lapro. surgery and found adhesions on my appendix and bowel and endo everywhere. He almost removed my appendix and part of my bowel. He recommended me to try Lupron and just like many of you I was scared because I read all these posts. However I have had my fourth shot. I do have side effects but it is better than what I was dealing with. Hearing your doctor say it is either this, Depo or Hysterocretomy is scary being on twenty. My doctor is going to Washington University since I live in St. Louis and I am going to be a part of a study to help other women. I think people should investigate the side effects from trusted research sites. You do lose bose lose but most of it is avoided if you only take it for six months. If you do lose some most of the deposits will come back. THe side effects are hell sometimes but your doctor can help give you a different add back therapy. I am just happy they are saving my ovaries for now but I just don't know what to do when my six months are up. If your scared about Lupron you should be but you should also see the benefits coming from someone that has seen them. However, it is like if you have a good experience somewhere you are less likely to scream about it but if you have had a bad experience the more people you will tell and make it seem worse then it is. If you are reading this to see if you should take Lupron, stop. Go talk to your doctor because he is the one that meets with the drug reps and see the studies. The people that post are getting heresay. If you don't try something then you can't talk bad about it. Hope this helps because I know I was so scared and then my doctor showed me clinical studies and did warn me alot about the side effects but he also told me if I experience them we can give you something for it. In other words, talk to your doctor and stop reading all these posting because they make it worse.

Im 34 years old going on to my fourth shot, ive had my bout of hot flashes it has been reduced due to the fact that have also been given add back therapy, my only regret is not doing it sooner. give thanks im doing fine.

I am 33 years old and and am going next week for my fourth shot. I'm due to get t a total of six for adenomyosis which is similar to enym. I had surgery three months ago to remove fibroids but found out I had this condition. I have not slept in three months. I get up an average of four to six times a night. The hot flashes are the absolute worst so my doctor put me on premrin which has helped with the intensity of the hot flashes, but it makes my eyes very puffy. Since I have been on lupron, I have gained some weight and no matter how hard I work out, I can't seem to drop the pounds. My hair is growing like weeds and my memory (I'm in grad school) is beyond frightening. I can't remember one minute to the next which is really disturbing. I don't have periods anymore. My sex drive has not changed. I'm hoping this is working and I was just wondering if anyone out there went through this and went back to normal and if they did, how long did it take? It's nice to know I'm not as alone as I thought I was before I read all these testimonials.

NOOO sex drive!!! Almost repulsed by the idea! Will it ever return? I'm up to my fourth shot. Hot flashes every hour on the hour, you could set a clock to them, not to mention extreme coldness in between the flashes. I barely get any sleep. Extreme tiredness, and very moody. A constant feeling of nervous energy or anxiousness. On the other hand, no cramps! No cramps! It's a trade off. Oh, also loss of memory. I'm going to get fired if I don't remember converations from one day to the next.
