-- I too was asked to make the same decision you are trying to make last week. My Doctor gave me that option of Lupron or BC so unless your situation is different you should be able to do the BC. Which in my opinion is the better way to go. However, if you still have endo in there your doctor my insist you consider the Lupron to try to kill it off. A woman I have been taking to decided to go on a drug called Syneral (sp?) it is a nasal spray that works like Lupron and said it is a much better alternative you might want to check it out.
