hello,
I have had endo on and off for the past 18 years or so. I have had 4
laparoscopies. Have one 6 years old daughter. A year ago I had my
first 6 months lucrin(lupron) treatment. It was hard but very berable.
And for the first time in 18 years I felt I had power. Without the pain
and the blood I felt free. The endo came back and after another
laparoscopy today I began my second lucrin treatment. I know it will be
tough but since I am trying to get pregnant it will be worthwhile.
If the endo is really afecting your family and your job, and if it is
pertinent to your case, I suggest you consider it. And consider the
pros also, not only the cons, although you will hear more of them.
Good luck,
Alexandra
