My first lap was done Feb 2014. I was put on birth control continuously. My pain was lessened although I still felt it kinda lingering with the burning, discomfort in the pelvis when sitting etc. I went to a specialist that july and she said I needed to have another lap and then wanted me to do Lupron. i read so many bad things that i didn't think i was going to do it. She talked me into it and here I am, 9 months later, pissed that i ever put myself through this. Just starting it without add back therapy is awful.. i mean hot flashes every morning and joint stiffness and headaches and zero sex drive. I was so excited to hook up with a guy i'd been crushing on for years and of course lupron ruined it.. i wasn't into it at all :( i physically feel my skin sagging and getting older and i love going to the gym 4-5 days a week and now i never want to. I know when i go i'll be tired and it'll be a waste. I've become super unmotivated, tired all the time, and depressed. I don't feel like i am in control of my life. I don't feel young even though I'm 22. I'm tired of letting this disease take everything away from me. It has ruined my self confidence and body image. Do not take this drug unless you are taking it for a short period of time to get pregnant. Im currently trying to get off the drug and back on birth control because i felt 10x better on birth control then i did on lupron. My doctor claims the high estrogen is bad but i don't think lupron has made me feel any different and its been 9 months. my estrogen level is apparently 30ish when most people my age are in the 80ish range.. not fair.
