I was absolutely miserable on lupron. It all started with a softball sized cyst on my L. ovary that burst and landed me in the hospital from the pain. I didn't even know it was there! The Dr. went in to take it out with the scope, and told me that I had stage 3 endometriosis. I never had any pain, so I find it hard to believe that I even had endo. At any rate, he told me in order for it not to come back, I would have to go on Lupron. He told me I may have some hot flashes and vaginal dryness..I read the brochure on it and I thought the side effects would be worth saving my reproductive tract.
I gained 30 lbs during my 4 months on lupron. The hot flashes were terrible, I would have 2 or 3 in an hour, drip sweat, and then freeze. The vaginal dryness was so bad it itched internally, I had to use massive amounts of lube to have sex--which was nearly impossible because my boyfriend couldnt stand to sleep with me constantly moving around, dripping sweat, throwing blankets on and off. I began to have anxiety attacks and terrible mood swings.
I wouldn't recommend this medication to anyone, ever. I was on the monthly dose,refused to stay on the medication after 4 months (June), and just finally got my period a few days ago. I still get occasional hot flashes, especially during or after drinking alcohol. I am doing about an 1 1/2 hours of cardio a day, besides using my bike for transportation, eat clean 90% of the time, and weight train a few days a week. The scale is not budging and I've been at that for about 6 weeks. It is frustrating to say the least. Does anyone know how long it takes your body to get back to normal??

Does Tapazole hinder weight loss?
I've been on it for 6 years. I did regain the 25 pounds I lost from developing hyperthyroidism plus.
Recently, in the last 2 weeks, I've been exercising regularly and eating less and no significant change has occured.
Any information would be helpful. thank you

THEY SHOULD MAKE A PILL FOR MEN!!! I've been on Yasmin for 7 months now. I went from having sex 2 x a day to 1 x a week (if my husband's lucky). It has completely taken away my sex drive. I push my husband away if he comes near me. The sex is so painful due to decreased lubrication, and it burns alot to have sex. My moods are crazy. I cry all the time. And worse of all, it's not so much that it has made me gain weight, its this layer of extra fat that I just can't seem to get rid of. I work out 4 x a week and weight train, but the weight doesn't budge. My skin is really dry now and look patchy. Im getting off of Yasmin tomarrow. Id. By the way, does anywone know how long it takes to lose the weight after you get off the pill?

I have been on the Loestrin 24 for 3 months and i am about to call my dr and see if i can try the IUD, the side effects on the Loestrin 24 is horrible, i work out every day and i am having a battle with my weight management and i can only blame the pill, before i was in good shape i kept my weight in check by working out but now is very serious, i need to get back to my 135lb, since i gave birth 5 months ago i have been 150lb and it does not drop. i am really disappointed
