I had two different series of lupron and it helped until I stopped it. I had had endo for about 5 years and I eventually had to have a hysterectomy three years ago. It was something that needed to be done a long time before that but my doctor wanted to wait. Just remeber that it does not always work. The main thing that I did not like about it was the fact that I gained so much weight and I am still trying to get it off.
