Stopping Lupron...and a little more....lol

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone...

I was wondering if anyone knows if it is ok to just discontinue Lupron

injections? I have had 5 shots and am still bleeding so I was thinking maybe I

should just discontinue the shots and not proceed with the 6th shot since I am

not getting the relief that most women get with the use of Lupron. I plan on

talking to my gyn tomorrow but just wanted to get your most valued opinions

first. The other gyn I saw recently for a second opinion just wanted to give me

more hormones and to continue the Lupron injections for up to two full

years!!!!! Obviously, I have no intention on seeing this guy again. He told me

to just have a baby; afterall, a baby fixes everything. That is what the guy

told me!! no kidding!! I was sooo shocked and offended by his statements, I

could have killed him right then and there! He was dangerously close to being

attacked by a drug-induced menopausal, totally infuriated 33 year old. JUST

HAVE A BABY!!! Now, I am not against the idea of children but I am most

certainly against the idea of using this as a way to solve a problem....which

isn't guaranteed either. A baby is something you should decide upon and want

because you want to cherish and nurture another human being! It is not and

should not be chosen just to fix a problem!! Anyhow, my damn problem with

conceiving is due to the stupid, idiotic fibroids in the first damn place,

right???? UGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Sorry ladies....I am so crazed about these

incessant people who so casually mention these ridiculous things....stay on

Lupron for two years!!! UGGGGHHH.....give me MORE hormones!!!! UGH, UGH and

Triple UGH!! Is there no end?????

Anyhow, back to the original question....has anyone discontinued Lupron early

and if so, was there any problems with discontinuing it? I appreciate you all

so very much...thanks for listening and letting me vent...I swear I was only

going to ask the one question and not even bring up the other stuff but I guess

I needed to talk about it...thanks a million!!

I was told that one could only take six injections of Lupron ever. I had

three and elected to stop after three with no ill effects. Is there a reason why

the Lupron didn't work for you? I thought for sure it kicked one into menopause.

Where are your fibroids? What type are they? I agree with you that your doc is a

twat. A child is more than just a thing used to fix one's fibroids with! Sigh.

Go with your instincts, take your iron and explore until you hit on the right

thing for you. Then gather all your support! Good luck and thoughts. gigi.

Did this moronic doctor tell you how becoming pregnant (if you were

able to) would help your fibroid situation? I have read that

pregnancy makes fibroids GROW! And was Lupron supposed to be a

cure? Generally doctors only use it prior to surgery to shrink the

fibroids. After the Lupron is discontinued the fibroids grow back

rapidly to their previous size. And many doctors feel that it

actually makes the fibroids harder to remove since it tends to make

them " mushy " and harder to differentiate from normal tissue, not to

mention the fact that some small fibroids shrink so much that they

cannot be found during surgery, only to grow back later on.
