Hello everyone,
I just had laparoscopic surgery 2/22 and my gynecologist has found adhesion/ endo in my uterus. Some were able to be removed however there are still smaller ones still there. The gynecologist told my parents I would need the shot I’m guessing (lupron) which will put me in a menopause state. My question is what treatments have you sought out? Is the shot worth it or should I look into alternatives I’m already on birth control and have been for years.
Lupron is awful. Made me feel like I was dying. It made me worse before better and "better" was still awful. I wouldn't give Lupron to my worst enemy.
Treatments I have tried: birth control: necon, low estrin, ortho evra patch. Lupron depot plus add back, Depo-Provera shots, aygestin, necon + femara, aygestin + femara. Currently just on aygestin.

Thank you so much for your input.
I want to add though, just because a lot of people report negative side effects taking Lupron (like I did), doesn't mean you will too. It could work for you. Everyone is different. When I took Lupron I had to take add back therapy daily, plus 1500mg calcium and vitamin D (I don't remember how much vit D).
I refused to take Lupron because of all the horror stories i heard . I suffered until i couldn’t take it anymore and had total open hysterectomy 2/6/2019 .
Kjbartholomew,
Hopefully i’m responding correctly. I have mild pain by my belly button after the surgery nothing i think isn’t normal post surgery. Right i don’t get the full story until my post op appt on the 12th of march.
Did you call your doctor yet to give him/her updates?
