Lupron

[Marilyn]

So far it's been for a couple of days and seems like a regular period. I am 51. I was kind of beginning to think that maybe I should see my ob/gyn about this as well. It's always good to hear someone else's opinion. I just find it rather annoying since I thought I was through this. Thanks for your input.

Marilyn,

If you are taking an AI, you should discontinue until you find out if this is a period. My onc has cautioned me to stop taking my Arimidex immediately should my period return. I am currently on monthly Lupron shots to keep me in menopause.

Good Luck,

You can get your period back.My onc has talked to me about this.I have been getting Lupron shots for over 2 years-with seeming no end in sight.I am 47 now.He said that I could be on lupron for 8 years-natural menopause in this country is between 50 and 55.He suggests that I remove my ovaries-I don't want to.So, it is possible that your ovaries have started working again-as crazy as it seems-but do as Becky said.You certainly do not want to assume anything.Diana

My wife has taken Lupron in the past. You would of thought all the Chemo would of put her into menopause, but it starts right up again. Once the Lupron stops, the period begins. Funny, after all the years of being irregular, she is is pretty regular now. We prefer to stop it because of the hormone production. But her Doctor right now is not concerned.( I am!)


Hope this Helps!

Thank you everyone. I guess I'm just young at heart and my body is not ready to be done with the ovaries working--I am. :-) At any rate it helps to hear that others have gone through this and I guess I'll just wait and see what the doctors say. Have a good weekend everyone!
