Lupron Depot Shot
Hello there Sisters. This is my first post. I have 7 fibroids (two the size of large grapefruits, 2 the size of large oranges, and 3 the size of goldballs.)and have been given a
3 month Lupron Shot in order to stop bleeding
in order to improve low iron and to hopefully
shrink the fibroids in order to have a less
intense time in surgery. I had the shot 3 weeks ago and so far I have had some achy joints, some puffiness and minor swellign, but the the worst of it has been
that I feel like a nut! Mood swings like I have never experience in my LIFE! I haven't had any of the sweats. Besides those few symptoms, I feel physically pretty normal. It seems like most people got the hotflashes right away. I haven't gotten them yet. If I haven't gotten them yet, does that mean that I won't get them? Also, I just had a period, which was a little lighter than the recent blood baths; should the period not come back again? I feel anxious, I would be grateful to anyone who has ideas, comments or help to offer in the way of information.
Thanks and peace to all,
December8 (my surgery date

Lupron Depot Shot
I am so sorry that you're going through this!! YUCK! I had the one month Lupron shot, and I had my second shot a few weeks ago. The only problem that I really had was a week after my very first shot I did get a migraine. The hot flashes haven't been too bad for me. I wonder if since you're on the 3 month shot it's just that much stronger that it's causing these problems...

Lupron Depot Shot
Hi December.
I did three months of lupron shots to shrink my fibroids for a less evasive hyst.
I had some mild mood swings, hot flashes, night sweats and I lost interest in sex for awhile. As I remember, I did not get hot lflashes for about two weeks.
I had one period after my first shot and then my periods stopped.
Best wishes with your surgery,
Mary

Thanks!
Dear Sisters who responded,
Thanks for your help on this already! I appreciate so much your taking the time to write to me. this has been quite a frightening ride so far, especially with all the intense bleeding, my clothes not fitting anymore, the affects of the Lupron. I just want to say thanks to you for writing to me and for sharing your personal stories. I live in a very remote moutain area and there aren't really other women in a similar situation to talk with.
...and thanks for the good wishes on the surgery. I wish the same to you!
December.
