Lupron after laproscopic removal of endo
Hi all. So I just had a laproscopic procedure to remove endometriosis. I had endo on my ovaries (they were actually attached to one another by the endo tissue), on my colon and a few other places. Removal went well, and my fallopian tubes look great/did not have endo on them.
My dr is strongly suggestion doing 1-2 rounds of Lupron and then trying to conceive. I am 30 years old and am currently using the pill to skip periods.
I was wondering what everyone else has done since having surgery, especially those that have conceived afterwards. Did you use Lupron, what were your side effects, or experiences with that? If you conceived, was it shortly after surgery, or years later? Any struggles (i.e eptopic or miscarriages, as I'm told my chances of both of these are increased as is with the endo and what not). Any other stories/suggestions/thoughts/etc. are welcome!
THANKS!

After my original surgery I did do 3 months of lupron. The more I know now the more I realize that Lupron is only a bandaid treatment to suppress your periods similar to what the pill does when taken continuously. If the pill is working to stop your periods I would not take lupron. It is a very strong drug and it puts you into menopause and causes a lot of symptoms. I have tried Visanne, Lupron and Marvelon BCP and the pill worked the best for me and I was on it for 8 yrs.
So you know only excision (cutting out the disease) is the best method of pain relief. It sounds like this is the type of surgery you had but not sure. Ablation is laser and only gets the root so the disease will continue to grow.
Do you know what was done? Did the pill work for you hormonally or did it cause more symptoms?
