Hi Greg,

Fluctuations in hormones can change how she feels. That is not to say that it is just hormones. This is kind of hard to explain. You are both young and feelings can change.

When I was your girlfriend's age, every month I seemed to have changing feelings toward my boyfriend (now my husband). I couldn't figure it out. Then I was diagnosed with PMS. That explained everything-why I could feel so depressed in one part of the month and then after my period started I felt normal again and felt in love. Now I am in perimenopause (kind of the opposite of puberty) and I am on another hormonal rollercoaster. I can understand still how feelings can change from time to another depending on hormones. I have to remember to ride out this storm.

Lupron will cause menopausal symptoms without add-back therapy. Again with the fluctuating hormones, this can have an effect on her moods and feelings.

Again, I say, maybe her feelings really have changed. However, when the hormones are on a nosedive, her feelings can seem like they changed to her, for real. If she doesn't understand that, then she might not ride out the storm. Plus, having been recently diagnosed with endo is difficult. She may be depressed. Perhaps she could talk to a counselor about what she is going through.

Please keep in mind, her feelings may indeed be her real (unaffected by hormone) feelings. But, I tend to agree with your assessment.

It is great that she has someone like you who cares, because endometriosis is hard to live with.

My best to the both of you.
