My bosses’ D is twenty five years old and has had horrible endometriosis for years.
Her Dr.put her on Lupron shots about eight months ago and told her she would not have a period for six months. She ended up having bleeding for four or five of those months.
The Dr. wrote it off as some sort of break-through bleeding and didn’t act too concerned.
Last week she had the worst bleeding of her life with contractions as if she were in labor.
The Dr. now says it has nothing to do with the Lupron. That it did what it was supposed to do but that the D must have something else going on to cause all this.
She has been in agonizing pain. They say it could be a cyst or a tumor. My boss is so mad that they told her not to worry about the bleeding when the Lupron was supposed to have stopped it. The D is now going to get a CT scan to see if they can figure out what’s causing the bleeding. This poor girl was born with TWO uteruses and a heart condition that will require surgery this summer. She’s a great girl who has had more than her share of raw deals. She’s not married but has a bf and would really like to have kids someday so is praying that something drastic is not called for to fix her prob.

I know this wasn’t an answer to your question but we’ve talked about Lupron so much at work this week (the bosses D works w/ us too) that I couldn’t help replying. I had never heard of Lupron until this young woman was put on it.
