i just went through this with my doc. My old one told me to get pregnant or go on Lupron. I saught a second opinion and told him Lupron is out of the question right now. He did a lap, removed the endo and has me on a continuous dose of Progesterone. I have only been on it for a week, so I can't really say how its working. My doc's explanation was that the progesterone would accomplish the same effect as Lupron without such a drastic effect on your body. I'll just take it every day and not have a period. I was on seasonale for the last year, had only 4 periods. It didn't work for me, but has for some women on this site. Alyson
