I was injected with Lupron and the shot last for three months. I had the shot in order to stop my periods to increase my blood count for surgery to remove fibroids. The first two weeks, I spent having a very light cycle. I'm 2 1/2 months in and haven't had one since. I have, however, had menstrual cycles and never had them when I had my cycles before Lupron. I have a high tolerance for pain, but I was constantly popping Motrin to deal with the cramps. I experience pressure in my head during the second month, but it has gone away. My sex drive sky rocketed since I've been on the shot, but I have some vaginal dryness. My energy has also decreased since being on the shot and I don't work out like I use to. The three months is almost up so hopefully I can get back to normal once it's over.

I just had a Lupron injection two days ago and have had cramps ever since. I have also had the pressure in my head. Has your gotten any better?

Mine was also the three month shot. I had a biopsy done at the same time and have been thinking the cramping was from that. Since you have experienced the same thing now I am thinking it is the shot. Please update me on your experience with Lupron. Thanks!
