First and foremost find a new doctor. lupron is not recommended to be
taken that much! its only recommended for 1 6 mth course. also has he
done bone scans as it causes you to lose bone density each time you take
it! i have heard several women say use a specialist and have excision
surgery. i cant help you on the birth control pills as i havent ever
found any that helped
