And so it begins....

Just like with Jen and Nelson, Kenny and I are starting on our journey now.

I have uterine fibroids and I want them gone before we ttc officially. (We've been trying off and on for the past year).

So, my dx is putting me on Lupron, a 3 month injectible shot to stop my AF completely so my fibroids can go away.

Then, it's on to ttc.

I start the shots after I come back from my WDW trip in June. Here's hoping for some It seems to work on this thread pretty well. LOL.

At age 32 I did three months of Lupron shots in '05 prior to a myomectomy by laparotomy (a fancy way of saying they took out a 4 lb 6 oz fibroid by c-section).

The Lupron wasn't much fun... it makes you chemically menopausal, so you should expect some of the joys that come along with it.

I wasn't trying to conceive, so I can't tell you any first hand experiences with Lupron's effectiveness in that regard. The theory in my case was that the Lupron would help shrink the fibroid prior to surgery.

I found it interesting that my surgeon was the one who said I should have it, but my family doctor/GP said she felt the risks/side effects were not worth it. In the end I'm not convinced it made any appreciable difference in either the size of the fibroid or the outcome of the surgery.

I am not a doctor, and I don't play one on TV. Your mileage may vary.

I have been on Lupron for almost 2 months. The side effects can be a little scary sometimes. It is truly menopause. My doctor told me to take Remefim (can be bought at Publix or CVS) as a supplement. It helped with the hot flashes and headaches. If you have any... is this normal questions I would be happy to answer them.

Good Luck and Baby Pixi Dust to you!
