I'm 24 and just recently finished my lupron treatment for endo. I'm still having some of the side effects and have yet to start my period again. I honestly would've rather had surgery again for endo than go through months of the side effects. The memory problems, overall fogginess, night sweats, insomnia, mood swings, hot flashes, and just the stress and complete crappy quality of life I've had most of this year has completely affected all aspects of my life. It's not easy at work, at home with my husband- surgery took a day or so to recovery from and this has been a nightmare for months and months. I'd really think about it and research the benefits for you vs the side effects before doing it. If there are any other options- I'd absolutely consider them.

Does your doctor have you on an add back therapy. I don't see a lot of these posts including that information. I was on add back with norethindrone and really had no side effects. At least none so bad that I wouldn't consider this a viable treatment option for the second time around.

i totally agree i would of rather had another surgery than to go through those side effects as well. I have so many memory problems, mood swings like crazy, bone pain and i have gained 10 pounds since my last shot which was 4 months ago. still have not got my menses yet.
