Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 To those of you on Lupron, what sorts of side effects did you experience and how long were you on it. Did you end up going on to other interventions such as myomectomy, UAE, or hysterectomy? --candace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2001 Report Share Posted February 3, 2001 You won't feel anything ! I did have 1 period which was bad after the 1st shot because the fool was so in a hurry to make money - he didn't even give it to me at the proper time of my cycle so it didn't work untitled 2nd one - After I did research and adjusted the appointment to the right time of my cycle. For clarity this was a hyst. butcher that I just used to stop the excessive bleeding. While I research this site and many medsites trying to find a decent doctor and a decent procedure. When you will know its working you will have flushes bad run outside to cool off flushes - soak yo night gown flushes- Some people have other symptoms I did not I was so happy the bleeding stopped didn't care!!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2001 Report Share Posted February 5, 2001 > How long does it take for lupron to start working? I had a shot 1 > week ago, and feel nothing. When it does start to work will this help keep me from bleeding? Thanks, Pam>> Hi Pam, I had my first Lupron shot on December 28th. The literature that came with it said that it existing symptoms (i.e. fibroid symptoms) will continue (or increase) for about 2 weeks. About a week after my first Lupron shot, I had a light period. I expect it was light because I had just had a period 2 weeks before that. After about 2 weeks, I started feeling much better. My chronic lower belly ache and general feeling of fatigue subsided. I did start having hot flashes and insomnia, but when I had my gyno check up before I got my second shot, she prescribed me HRT to take care of those and that seems to be working, as well. She didn't do a pelvic exam because she said that the fibroid probably hasn't shrunk enough in the month since the first shot to be manually noticable. There are some woman who have bled quite a bit during the first month on Lupron, but I think that just depends on each individuals physiology. Hope this helps :-) Lynda Michigan Scheduled for myomectomy: 3/19/01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
