Are you referring to the shot? If so i have. It was amazing, but they recommended you only take it for 6 months. I had NO endo pain, my body and mind felt clear, i felt like i had my life back. However, it makes your body think you're going through menopause. So, for me i had, hot flashes, night sweats, and a dry vajajay 😔. But i have been dealing with this for 4 years and it was worth a try.

After my dr immediately put me on BC so my period wouldn't come back but that didn't help and the pain was back within a few months. And the menopausal symptoms also lasted for a few months after.

It's now been 6 years since I've done this, and 8 years dealing with endo. It seemed worth it at the time but the endo did come back. Hope this helps.
