ok, so I am 28yrs old just had my lap for endo on October 1 and my doctor has recommended lupron, and am going to be getting the med in a week to 2weeks,but after reading about lupron I am soooooooooo scared to even get near this med. Its like you either take this with the hope of saving fertility and no pain..or not and have endo ravage your body and you will live with unbearable pain!!! I have no idea what to do,and i am so scared after reading this. Is there anyone that did not have weight gain, headaches etc...anyone that can testify that lupron actually worked for them? did any one have a baby after doing this. my bigs thing is being able to have a baby. Cause right now its my health on the line, my ability to have children, my ability to have a normal life free of endo pain or these crazy, horrible side effects...please help me!!!

jadejean-
While I am not sure the effect of lupron over the long term, just so you know 90% of the people doing IVF are put on lupron and it is helpful to them. Also most people I know do not report side effects. I think it's a similar effect as to when you take birth control pills. However, I am not sure about over the long term how they might make you feel.

I think it comes down to a risk/ benefit ratio. For me, I am willing to tolerate weight gain (i've gained 15 lbs so far on IF meds) to have a baby for example. It's all how you weigh it out.

If worse comes to worse, you take the meds, and if they don't work, you move on and try something else.

Good luck on your journey and figuring it out.
