How Effective Is Loestrin Fe On Endometriosis ?
I was recently diagnosed with endometriosis and I want kids, just not right now. I m hoping in the next year to start trying. I am currently on lo loestrin fe continuously but the pills make me nauseous. My doctor wants me to start the Lupron shot. Will this help preserve fertility better than the shots?

Dear member,
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
The lupron in leuprolide acetate inj which causes an artificial temporary menopause like period for say 6-8 months. The idea behind this treatment is that without hormones the endometrial deposit will shrink away and after a year when you are ready for pregnancy conception may be easier.
Thanks.
