I took Lupron 6 months, yes I had hot flashes and everything, every medicine has side effects. Some people get the period back 2 to 4 months after Lupron. The first month I got minor pain, the second month I had the same pain and I felt frustrated thinking that the Lupron had not done anything to me and I started crying. After maybe the 3 month I got my period I have not yet feel any pain "AT ALL". It may be a miracle, it may be the Lupron worked. This is my 5 month and I haven't got any pain, well minor pain that I take one advil just in case. This is the first time in my life that I don't feel pain with my period. I wish you good luck and, please let me know how you are doing. Regards,
