-- Hi Melanie,

I am 28 also and have been through 4 surgeories for endo. I took lupron 5 years ago and know exactly what you're going through. Finding ways to calm yourself is crucial during these hormone treatments. I only hope it helps you more than it did me. I am currently looking for other alternatives. I had my 4th lap. last week and it is worse than before. Dr. says I may be eligible to take the lupron again, but I said no way. I have also had 1 child and would like 1 more. It doesn't look like that is possible. But anyway, I don't see how the other hormone to make your body think you pregnant will help, if being actually being preganant didn't help me. Sorry about the rambling, I'm looking for suggestions too. But to answer your question, no you're not crazy, you just need to realize it's the chemicals and develop a method to deal with your emotions. Best Wishes, Jen
