I was diagnosed with severe endometriosis approximately 2 1/2 years ago. I have fibroids all over my ovaries, uterus, and cervix. I had lapo. surgery 2 years ago to burn away the tissue and help treat the endo. Recently, the excruciating pain has returned and my OBGYN has put me on dalaudid for the pain and said my only option at this point is the Lupron. I received my first shot about 3 weeks ago. I was TOTALLY against doing it shots, but was told by my OBGYN and my fertility doctor that it was my only choice. After reading some of the comments on here I want to refuse my next shot and just deal with the god awful pain of the endo. I am so confused and don't know what the heck to do. If anyone had any advice with where I should go from here, please respond to my comment. Thank you so much.

Hi, I was also told that taking Lupron was my only option. It has helped me alot with the unbearable pain. However I was not informed how how bad side effects are and possible long lasting effects. Definitely research, Dr's dont know everythiing I can say that being that I've worked for some. It's different with everyone. But try and be as well informed aobut the risks your taking before deciding. Take care!
