I had a lap surgery in April because of a cyst and the doctor found grad
4 endo. I didn't get lupron immediately afterwards. The next month (!)
the cyst and endo came back. My doctor put me on lupron because he
thought that this might shrink the cyst. It didn't. I did not have any
side effects (not even hot flashes) with the lupron, maybe an
occassional nausea (but nothing major).
The next monday I will have my next surgery, performed by another
surgeon who was recommended by my doctor. Hopefully everything will
work out. I also would love to have a child, therefore we will start
IVF afterwards.
