I know how you feel. I just went for a follow-up with my doctor four
months after my lap. I have been trying to get pregnant with no luck
but the periods have been HORRIBLE. Anyway Lupron was his suggestion
and he even suggested that after 6 months it might make getting pregnant
easier? Anyone heard of that? Needless to say I have also done some
research and it doesn't really appeal to me as a solution especially
since I would like to get pregnant now. It seems to be the only
solution normal OBs know about so I guess they just push it because they
want to offer some help.
