I was very apprehensive about this drug, but my doctor seemed to be confident in the benefits for my severe endometriosis. I had just had the laporscopy surgery and 3 months later my pain was back full blown. About 48 hrs after my 1st (and last) injection my mood just went hay-wire. I could literally feel myself being so crazy in every aspect of my life. I did have hot flashes but no night sweats. my pain worsened, and has still not eased up. I have IBS, which I keep under control, well the shot just made my bowels go nuts, very uncontrollable no matter what I ate. I would not recommend this shot for treatment, especially considering that it is just a temporary solution. I called my doctor 2 weeks after my 1st injection and said that I wasnt taking another one!

I just received my third injection for stage IV endometriosis. I chose to inject monthly due to possible side effects. Though my pelvic pain has decreased, I have severe abdominal distention within 48 hrs of receiving the shot each month, I look about 6 months pregnant for about a week a month. I have hot flashes which I can tolerte, but the insomnia is terrible. I wake up about 15 times per night. I was considered average weight when starting treatment, I have now gained over 15 pounds in about two months. I also endure GI upset on a daily basis. I am to receive this injection three more times to make my 6 month treatment complete. I am considering living with the Endo pain and opting for a full hysterectomy instead of dealing with these side effects.

3rd injection resulted in severe anaphylactic reaction. Side affects were terrible. 24yo stage 3 endo. After scouring the internet I found a trial of the drugs in post op use for endo treatment. I think anyone considering lupron should print it off and discuss it with their dr. The trials concluded that it doesnt provide benefits to women TTC.
