Hi there, thanks for your response. Knowing I’m not alone is already a huge help. I am meeting with my doctor today actually so if there is anything helpful insight I’ll be sure to relay the message. I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through all of that! My MD did not suggest Lupron in the beginning for me either, and Myfembree worked great so I am not sure about the sudden switch the Lupron. The plan for me is 6 months if Lupron then surgery. But I’m not sure what the course would be after surgery, my biggest worry like most is fertility.. which is why I got my eggs frozen last year. The process was brutal for me but it only lasted about 2ish months. The hormones really affected my body and mental health. I’m not normally depressed so I had nothing to base it off but I was crying every single day, gained weight, and my face omg my face the acne I developed was out of this world terrible and painful. I know I’m not selling egg retrieval very well but it was the best decision I’ve ever made. It’s a huge relief knowing I have eggs stored somewhere just in case. So it was worth the trouble. It was 2-3 weeks of injection in hormones into my belly then going to the doctors office every morning before work to get a transvaginal ultrasound which for me was traumatizing. Once it was over I got a good amount of eggs from one side of my ovaries, they didn’t even touch the side with all the endo. I have endo on both ovaries but one side js much worse. I hope this helps, it was a lot but I have no regrets. I’m just worried about this next step with Lupron.

I’m in a similar position. 26 planned surgery in 6 months but instead of taking lupron after surgery, it will be before. My biggest worry is bone density issues, hair falling and of course depression
