Lupron AGAIN!!!!

Sooooo my doctor has suggested LUPRON!!!! This will be my third time getting it since my battle with endo and the first two times I swore to NEVER take it again. Yet, I am back considering it AGAIN! I think it's my only option at this time to slow down endo.... I am very nervous and scared of going through what I went through with my prior two times, but even more scared to wait and let endo get worst. I feel stuck and truly don't know what else to do, I can not allow endo to stop my life. I am so over this, maybe I should really consider a hysterectomy. I have been dreading the hysterectomy but maybe it's time for me to give up on attemtping to carry a baby. Mentally, I don't think I can accept a hysterectomy but my body is telling me it is time. I don't recall all of the symptoms I experienced with Lupron, but what I do recall is telling myself never ever to get it again. Ughhhhhhhhhhh..... I do'nt know what to do!!! I am just trying understand things and endo.... do I trust my docotr or my instincts to stay as far away from Lupron as possible???? No Lupron means deal with the realm of endo, I can sense my symptoms getting back bad and fear not being able to manage my life with endo. Recently started a new job and really love what I do.... if I allow my endo to get worse it will affect my job/CAREER! I am so tired of dealing and compromising with endo. I will do more research on my options and go from there. Desperately trying to not go into a dark whole and allow misery to seep in.....

Ugh, i know how you feel. So sorry you are habing to go through this tough decision again! I had Lupron last year and was completely miserable. This year i tried the Mirena. I\'ve had it since August 2014 and it has been a MUCH better experience! First 1-2 months was an adjustment but after that smooth sailing. Maybe an option to look into?
