The three month shot may not have been lupuron, it may have been something else like zoladex. I had three month shots of that, it did wonders for me the only problems I had were once I got back on continuos birth control, and finally had a period.

I would talk to the doctors about what they had given me and how it works, also discuss options. I don't know how the insurance systems works, I live in England so I don't have to deal with all that.

Good luck,

Marie
