I am 32 years old and taking Lupron shots prescribed by my OBGYN doctor. I want everyone to know that Lupron effects everyone differently. Different doses can make the difference too. Mothers out their that are having problems having a baby don't worry about Lupron. Just ask your Doctor and Nurse every question you want and need about Lupron. So far I have had hot flashes. But heck it'll let me know what I have to look forward to as an elderly woman. If you really think about it. Every medicine in the world has some sort of side effect. A positive attitude is something I strongly recommend to you all while taking Lupron shots. I can't speak for the men, but for women going through IVF or something similar to have a baby I can. I am trying to have a baby and though sometimes the shots burn or tingle... I keep in mind the little bundle of joy I may get to bring home. So please keep in mind to follow your doctor orders closely. If you feel you need a second doctors advise please do so. Lupron if takin correctly can be helpful. Lupron stopped without a doctor knowing can be scary and painful. Your doctor should be able to help you while you are on or off Lupron. Other wise change your Doctor right away! Go to an ER! God Bless you all and best of luck with your Lupron.
