I think my dr said they like to do that at the end of your cycle - but I can't remember........I had been on depo provera so didn't have a cycle so he went ahead w/my surgery.
From what he told me though - it's not like one just develops back overnight - they can take years to grow back ...

Hi there! I too had polyps. I had 2 removed on Jan 4 and started my Lupron shots on the 26th. I am sure I could have started earlier......but here we have to attend an IVF class before we start and they didn't have an opening after my surgery until 23rd.

I had my surgery at the hospital and it took ...

cmoscar - thank you for your response.....It is hard to know what the right thing is. I am so torn. My work does not cover adoption at all.
I am getting IVF coverage right now though . . . but we still couldn't afford to do both.

My husband is hispanic and we requested the agency fit us with a ...

Possible Blood Clot?

Well all day today has been a roller coaster of emotion. I've gained about 5 pounds this week - guess I didn't know till my nurse told me that Lupron has the potential for weight gain - and when I told my husband I needed to shop this wkend for pants he said "you have plenty". I lost it in tears ...

Thank you so much for your post - that really put my mind at ease. The cyst they saw they originally said it was "clear" and seemed to be a typical cyst - I had endo removed approx 6 mo's ago - and also had an endometrial cyst on my right ovary removed at the time.
When I finally spoke w/the ...

Hi there! After I had the endo removed I still had back pain but no severe cramps -but that is mostly because I started a BC shot Depo Provera - then went off the shot when we were considering IVF. I went on the shot at the time because I had endo pain so bad ......and during that time they found ...

Hey there! :P

I had severe endo - had bad back pain often - even when I wasn't having a cycle. I also would have severe cramping almost to the point of passing out. My Dr said back pain/hard cramping is common. When I had my laparoscopy done they removed the endo - I also had an ovary stuck to the ...

Thank you! I actually just had my first baseline today which revealed a 2cm cyst on my right ovary - I'm only into my 4th day of Lupron - so not sure what this means? They took my blood to test my hormone levels and are supposed to be calling me later today with "what this means" for me ...

Hello!

Hollie

Yes! I start my first injections of Lupron tomorrow evening! So you are saying not to squeeze the medicine in to fast is best?

Also - did your dr double your Lupron to help with any potential cysts this next round? ?

Keep me updated - we could be "buddies" on this as we are so close ...
