Thanks for your thoughts, I've taken notes for my next appointment:)
My experience will Lupron is really nothing, I was having night sweats
but my Dr. put me on NuvaRing about a month into my treatment and I
feel perfectly normal. I was trying to conceive and her rational of
Lupron after lap was to let my body heal, she said "you have the worst
type of endo" so I'm seeing an RE/Infertility specialist next month to
see what he has to say as a second opinion and to get fertility options.
Depending on that we may try to conceive or adopt.
