We are going to try the Lurpon and see what happens. I don't care one way or the other about my left ovary (only one remaining). If she decides it is in my best interest to remove it, then so be it. And she might do just that since leaving the ovary in, if it is Endo will only "feed" it more and more. If she removes it, she will put me on HRT. Right now, I am just trying to take things one day at a time. Currently, I have another call into my GYN. I got my breakthrough bleeding 2 days late and with the right sided pain and the real bad cramping, I need something to help cope with it. I have tried Midol, Motrin and Tylenol and nothing is working. I really hate being a woman sometimes LOL. Why can't men deal with this? It's not fair! LOL Anyways, thanks for all the replies to my posts. I will come back and update after I see my GYN tomorrow morning.
