im currently on my fourth month of treatment with lupron and would like to know if anyone that had fertility problems was able to conceive after a course of lupron...? im 32 and have 2 beautiful children, but would like one more before i undergo a hysterectomy...i have been diagnosed with endometriosis, adenomyosis and severe pelvic adhesion's. i was in so much pain that it was ruining my life...the lupron has been pretty great this time around...six years ago i did it without any add-back therapy, but this time im taking progesterone along with it and the side affects have been minimal...still have mood swings and a decreased sex drive, but no hot flashes or night sweats. its definitely worth the pain relief...for me anyways.

I do the the add back therapy too. Can I ask you a question? Has it caused you to gain any weight? I went from starting it at 107 lbs to almost on my third month or third shot soon, and I am 117 lbs. I am tiny as it is so that is big for me.

They use Lupron in some of the IVF treatments, so I don't see why that would affect your long-term fertility.
As for the mood swings - ask your doctor about a low dosage anti-depressant. I'm not wellbutrin and haven't experienced any mood swings (though I'm only on day 10). I still get the headaches, though.
