Re: cently diagnosed w/Endo (moderate after laporoscopy) and DON'T want to take medication From: anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net) Tue Oct 21 09:40:30 2003 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: anonymous: "Re: PMS getting worse?-to Tammy Tammy" Previous message: heidi: "Re: Wierd question re: hot flashes?"

My doctor suggested the Lupron, too, but after reading about the side effects and horror stories, I decided to not take it. It was slow going at first, I had my period non stop instead of not at all. I went on several different kinds of BCP before finally finding one that stopped my period all together. I have not had my full period since fall of 2001 and my surgery was in spring of 2000. It helped me a lot. Of course I still have breakthrough bleeding occasionally, like if I forget a pill or if something really stressful happens, but it has helped me get through college which I didn't think was possible. I know that you were looking for something other than medication to treat your endo, but CBCP is all I know. I hope this little bit of info was helpful. -Jules At Tue, 21 Oct 2003, Danielle wrote: > >I have been searching the internet for information on treatment. So far >all that comes up is Lupron.
