Has anyone done Lupron and experienced significant hair loss? How long did it last? I feel like I’m going to be bald by the time the meds are out of my system 😢

Hi, I have also been advised by the doctor to take Lupron to see if it shrinks the fibroid, are you facing any major side effects except the one you listed (which is also very concerning :()

No, I’m taking norethindrone and calcium to mitigate the side effects of Lupron which could be hot flashes and bone density loss so I’m not really feeling anything else. Norethindrone gives me headaches though. The main thing right now is the hair loss. The nurses said it’ll stop once the meds are out of my system but I’m on a 3 month treatment so not sure I can keep losing hair at this rate for 3 months!

Lupron was prescribed for me to reduce adenomyosis.

We were not trying to conceive. And I was drinking alcohol like twice a week.
Now I missed my period and pregnant. I am panicking a lot, not sure if I want a baby right now. Definitely i cant deal with pregnancy constantly knowing how much u drinking could have affected the fetus and if i could ever endure the consequences it would bring upon the baby
Help me understand if my baby will be fine or not.

Hi,

Just started a new job less than a month ago in the tech sector. It was the industry I was fixated on when leaving for. However I realise that I don't think I can cope with the fast paced, lack of wlb, with no support - it's really impacting my mental health already....

I try to hide it from my boyfriend, but its impact is flowing into my personal life.
I feel like a failure, but recognise it might be beneficial to cut loss and quit. Has anyone been in this situation?

Any advice?
