Hi Karen! Sorry to hear the Lupron didn't help you and that you have had such a tough time. Just wanted to suggest you searching the forum archives for messages on natural progesterone and diet. I cannot speak from my own experience, but many women have posted on the forum to say they found some success using natural progesterone cream and radically changing their diet. I have just purchased a great book: Endometriosis: A guide to healing through nutrition by Michael Vernon and Dian Shepperson Mills. I haven't really had time to get into reading it yet, but seems like it has some good info on how diet can effect endo. I know the book itself, as well as diet, and the cream, has been mentioned on the forum in the past. I plan on giving diet a try. Certainly can't hurt the endo situation and wouldn't hurt me to eat healthier either.

Hope this helps a little or at least gives you some other options to consider. Wish I had some more advice to give. Just hang in there as best you can and know that there are lots of women on the forum who will be here for you.

Hugs! Amy Meyer
