Lupron shots...anyone else?

I don’t want to say too much because I really will not remember the details, but one good friend did lupron several years ago for severe bleeding (I mean sometimes to the point of passing out). I thought it was supposed to last 3-4 months for her but I think it did help significantly. (And I’m embarrassed to admit I haven’t asked her about it lately.)

And my sister was dealing with adenomyosis last year. She’d essentially been bleeding for two years straight. Very heavily. She did do the ablation her doctor recommended (despite many friends counseling her that a hysterectomy was great for them and is the only thing that would permanently fix the problem). Her bleeding has come back, but more like regular periods. (And dang that mother nature–both of us are in our mid-50s and not in menopause yet.)
