I have been on Lupron for almost four years for my endo. I have yet to get my period but have to say that while on the shot I had hot flashes, severe mood swings, and night sweats. All of the symptoms came in cycles and for the most part I felt great. I actually lost weight, and the best part, never got my period (duh). My sex drive fluctuated and I did experience vaginal dryness. I just want to get my period, it's freaking me out that I haven't gotten it over a month after I was supposed to take it last.

My period didn't come back until seven months after the shot was suppose to "wear off"! I only took the shot for six months - my doctor said six months was the maximum they allow anyone to be on this shot. I can't believe you were on it for four years - I can't imagine. If you've been taking it for that long, it may be awhile until your period comes back. What did your doctor say? My doctor told me it would come back immediately after the six months - seven months later it finally came!
