"This medicine has given me my life back. I no longer have to stay by a toilet due to extremely heavy periods that left me anemic. I no longer have pain during intercourse due to large fibroids and extremely painful periods. I was put on this medication to shrink fibroids for a safer hysterectomy or until menopause kicked in. I am 49, and I have had no side effects since starting this medication."

"Lupron Depot 11.25 mg 3-month suspension has given me my life back. I have been on this for a month and saw my doctor today. His first words were, wow! It is shrinking my huge fibroids. I had constant bleeding with flooding every month. Finally, on Sept 8th, 2010, I hemorrhaged. I was admitted into the hospital unconscious. Thank God my husband had the presence of mind not to sign a consent form for an emergency hysterectomy. I spot rarely now and have lost 4 pant sizes because the fibroids have shrunk so much. I will take my second shot on Jan 4th, 2011, and hope it will put me in permanent menopause. I am 49 and will avoid surgery at all costs. My side effects have been mild at best. My experience has been fantastic so far."

"I was having very heavy periods due to fibroids. My GYN gave me the shot, and it was amazing! No more periods! The trade-off I took was night sweats and early onset menopause, but after such heavy bleeding that I have a very low blood count, anemia, and vitamin D deficiency, it was well worth it! I'm only in the last few weeks of my first shot, but I can't wait for the next one!"

"I didn't experience any major problems, except some mild stomach cramping initially and continued heavy bleeding for the first two injections. By my 3rd shot, just mild spotting and occasional cramping. I just finished my 4th round, still no hot flashes, etc. I'm actually looking forward to my upcoming surgery soon."

"I started taking Lupron in November 2014, and I am currently still taking the shots. I have had almost no side effects except for occasional hot flashes. I was put on Lupron because of heavy bleeding due to my large fibroids. I am extremely happy with the results. My fibroids have shrunk to the point that I can now have a laparoscopic hysterectomy rather than the old-fashioned full abdominal surgery. I haven't had a menstrual cycle in 9 months."

"I was on this medicine about a year ago, but I only took it twice over six months (it was an every three months shot). I did not see any difference in the size of my waist. I didn't have a professional test to show me a change in my size, I measured my waist each day. The measurement didn't change at all. Multiple doctors advised me that there would be no change, if any, due to the fact that I was very large. I recently had the Acessa procedure to help shrink the fibroids small enough to manage with a myomectomy surgery or hopefully without any other surgeries. At this point, it has been six weeks since the surgery, and I am too afraid to measure myself yet. Will update in a couple of months or so."
