I was diagnosed with endometriosis. I don't have painful periods anymore but have ibs and feel crampy with spotting. My doctor wants to give me a shot to suppress estrogen to clear the endo. Has anyone else taken this or what has worked for you.
Thank you

I had the lupron shot three months ago and I hate it. My moods are awful, I am mean, my teeth and bones are starting to lose calcium and the hot flashes are awful. I am never going to get a nother treatment of it. I am actually trying to get pregnant again. My advice is to read all you can about it and then make your decision.

I would recommend Lupron...
I had incredibly painful periods even after my laproscopy. I had pelvic pain most of the time for about a week and a half after my period to a good 3 days before my period came back.

My doctor suggested I go on Lupron for one month and it was great. I didn't have period for one month and experienced no pain. Yes there were hot flashes, but you know what? I'll take the little hot flashes over my menstrual cramps any day. I've just got my period back and it was much less painful than before the lupron. I'm on cycle monitoring right now, we'll see what happens. I would recommend Lupron if you period pain is unbearable like mine were.
