Help:adenomyosis/lupron/ Safety Period For Conception Posted: 04-09-04 03:28am
Hi,
i am 30, have had one mymectomy. Had 2
miscarriages (reason undetermined, all
tests normal) diagnosed with adenomyosis a
few months back and put on lupron, have
taken my 4th dose. I have a 40 mm
thickening in the utreus wall. Got an
ultrasound done which showed no effect
after 3 monhs of lupron.
Was reading on the net and am confused as
it says that lupron does not improve
fertility. In fact causes birth defects.
My doc says to take it for 6 months, is it
safe to conceive after lupron immediately
or is ther a period of time I have to
wait. If I have to wait will the
adenomyosis not return? So what is the
use for taking it in first place. Please
advice anyone as I have to take the 5th
dose in a few days.
Thanks in advance...

I am 18 and in the same situation as you
are. I just got married 3 mos ago and
have been ttc for 6 mos. I was digonosed
with adenomyosis when I was 17. Has
anything helped for you yet? I don't know
much about this so anything you can tell
me would be helpful. Thanks so much!

Hi girls, I don't have exacly the same
condition as you do, but I do have
endometriosis. Which I think is the same
thing.. Just in a different place.
Anyway, my doc. Wanted to put me on
lupron for my treatment, and I refused. I
beg everyone to do some research on the
drugs that
their doctors prescribe, before use.
Back to your question... I have read
that it does not increase fertillity, and
can cause birth defects. Also, iread that
your supposed to wait at least six more
months before trying to concive. Here are
some web sites that were helpful to
me....Good luck
