Hey! Thanks Julie. Actually I did ask about Lupron because I had done a
6 month Treatment with my doctor after my first Lap. And yes it did
suck! big time! At the CEC they use Lupron to help manage the pain after
a surgery...NEVER as a "treatment" for endo... so I feel happy about
that. I have made them aware that this is something I am not interested
in at all! I will not go through that one again! My husband and I are
hoping that after the surgery we will have a better chance at concieving
anyhow... so I def wont do Lupron Depot again! Thanks for the heads up
though!
