Thread: Lupron Depot Treatment - Topix

Ya eventually about 1 year

The "menopause" caused by lupron depot is temporary, correct? At least I hope so... I have my laporoscopy next month followed by six months of lupron depot treatments. Please tell me you return to normal after your treatments.:(

I am going to be starting the lupron therapy in the next few weeks and am terrified about the possible side effects. I am wondering if it is even worth it or if I should just put up with the pain and heavy bleeding w/ my endometriosis. I am wondering if anyone out there has any positive stories? I tried Depo Provera shots 2 yrs ago and am still trying to lose the 30lbs that I gained w/ that. Help!

After years in pain... my doctor prescribe Lupron Depot 11.15mg for 1 year with the add-back therapy Norethindrone Acetate 5 mg, that helps a lot with the side effects an the possible bone density loss, and amitripline for the occasional pain.

I gain few pounds....

I was suppose to start my birth control pills last Monday BUT I wanted to see if my reproductive system was working because one day I hope to be able to conceive... plus, I would have began a new cycle while on Vacation this coming August and we all know how that is. So, I'm suppose to start my bc...

After having a laparoscopy in october 2008, I had to fight my insurance provider to be out on the Lupron. In the meantime, my doc put me on birth control to help manage symptoms, I chose the Nuva Ring because of previous bad experiences with other methods. Once the appeal came through and I got my first Lupron shot, my doc advised that I also remain on the birth control. After 3 weeks, my cycle came and has lasted for nearly 3 weeks long. It...
