Kristy,

She does suspect perhaps microscopic endo, thus why she is doing the Lupron. She said at minimum 2 months, and could do it for as long as 6. I just want this pain to stop, I'm tired of going to bed in tears.

I'm glad your friend is doing a bit better. Keep me posted on how she is, as well as how you are. Will post again late tomorrow evening about the Lupron issue. My DH is having knee surgery tomorrow morning, so I won't be online till late evening after I get him home from the hospital and get kids off to bed. I am stopping into the GYN's office tomorrow morning to get the Lupron shot after DH gets wheeled into the OR.

Take Care and talk to ya soon.
