Hi Paula! Glad to hear you're doing okay. Just wanted to respond to your questions about deciding between BCP's and Lupron. My opinion is go with the bcp's. I did the Lupron thing and absolutely HATED IT. I personally believe it did absolutly nothing to help with the endo. I did the DepoProvera injections too - same outcome - hated it. I'm meeting with my gyn on the 23rd to discuss a possible hysterectomy or another (my 4th) laporoscopy. If you feel the bcp's were of some help stick with it honey! Hugs to ya! Your Endo Pal in Alaska! Amy
