Experiences with

Gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH)

I think the GNRH drugs maybe the next step that will be suggested to me. Are all GNRH drugs the same? Is there one that is more effective on Endo them another and is their one that has fewer side effects? If you are prescribed HRT also, does this stop the side effects of the GNRH medication.

Has anyone else had extreme thirst from zoladex/gnrh?? I just can't stop drinking but nothing is getting rid of it

Interesting article ladies; http://m.voices.yahoo.com/what-doctor-doesnt-tell-aboutlupron-depot-59981.html Best wishes, Barbara x

I'm a worried about the GNRH drugs and the side effects. I'm wondering if I should ask for surgery? And if so should I ask for a hysterectomy but insist in keeping at least one of my ovaries. Life is definitely difficult for me with the endometriosis now.

I have just this week been diagnosed with Endometriosis. My symptoms appeared when I came off the Pill at the beginning of 2013 (as I thought they were the cause!). After seeing a consultant for my bowels, which they thought the cause of the pain was, I finally now have been diagnosed with Endo. He

I have never tried any GNRH medicines. Are these as awful as they seem? I would really value your opinions. Thank you Barbara P.S It was suggested another option would be depo provera injection as I can have this long term ?

I am currently on GnRh injections at moment and taking add in HRT. Amanda

A letter was wrote to my own GP recommending that I start on GnRH injections and HRT. This seems like a short term fix that could land me back at square one in 6 months and long waiting list to be seen by specialist again.

Has anyone heard of or had experiences of Oral GnRH antagonists?

I know there are the GnrH or whatever they are called, but I already know you can only be on them for 6 months, so what would that leave then? ANY suggestions etc would be so appreciative, I don't know if this makes any difference but from memory they found endo on both ovaries (ehich she left!!)

Hello, I had my 1st (and only Decapeptyl injection last week (opting for a hysterectomy around xmas) and am wondering about a few things.. Before getting this I was struggling everyday with hot flushes, sweating and really bad night sweats, so deciding about having the injection was a huge step for me

Might need GnRh analogues in the future. I was hoping that some of you could shed some light or share your own diagnosis/story? And how the hell can something be 'mildly obliterated'?? Or maybe I'm just completely overreacting and it sounds much worse than it is?

Basic run down- Do I try GnRH? If so, which one? Do I have a baby before treatment or take the risk and do GnRH anyway and see if my periods come back after stopping it? Hope everyone is as pain free and happy as possible and sorry for the long post. Leya :)

Since the GNRH injections are relieving the pain, I thinking about just eliminating the things that the GNRH injections are supposed to be used for. - endometriosis - fibroids Does anyone else know where GNRH injections can be used for? Anything else I should ask my gyn?

I have used GnRH agonist injections and did get relief but afterwards pain came back. I was on another progestin preparation, orgametril, 5mg twice daily.

In Womens body each month, various hormones like, gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, these are just to name which synchronized to dance through your body to create women menstrual cycle.

I have now been put on GNRH with add back, not sure which one as forgot to ask, doh, so just looking for as much of your experiences as possible. It's mainly to see if it will stop my constant, chronic, debilitating lower back pain in order to confirm whether or not it is Endo related.

Discussion THC impairs GnRH release resulting in lowered LH and FSH, which is responsible for reduced testosterone production by the Leydig cells of the testis. Several studies have also shown impaired cortisol response to stress resulting from cannabis exposure.

I have point blank refused a hysterectomy, and the GnRH injections, too many horror stories plus i dont want to cure one problem only to create a lot more! So i am basically hoping for my 4th lap.

GnRH - I am 42 years old and are GnRH treatments safe enough for me (will it weakens my bone)?, if so which one is good? (well, I guess everyone's side effect comes out differently...) Thank you.
