I cannot help, but will be starting it on the 20th... so this will be interesting...

I've had lupron injections four times and each time the side effects have been different. The first time I had hot flashes and hypersensitive skin, the next two were fets and I don't remember anything too much then, the last time I had lupron I had lots of headaches. They were manageable, just always there, kind of annoying. I started Lupron again and nothing yet, other than increased energy, I don't know if it's from the Lupron or something else, but I like it.

I just started lupron on 11/4 and this morning I had a couple of hot flashes and my skin got blotchy. Other then that it is ok so far.

I was on Lupron for 3 months and experienced a lot of hot flashes as well as constipation. My RE put me on this as a remedy for Endometriosis. I ended up going for surgery, anyway, since I was still unable to get pregnant. Later, when I did IVF, I was put on the Lupron nasal spray for two weeks at the beginning of my cycle. Symptoms were much less severe.

The first time I has Lupron my joints ached really bad in my hands and back...so much that I called the doctor. It went away, though, after a few days. I have been on it 5 other times with no side effects (not even the aching joints) and am about to start next week again with no reservations.

Oh, and my legs ached too...hard to walk down stairs (that's when I called the Doctor).

when I was on Lupron in July-August I had a few hot flashes but mostly was just tired in the evenings

I hope my response will make you feel a little bit better! I was also really scared based on what i was reading about Lupron but everyone is different.

I didn't really have any of the listed side effects except being REALLY tired all the time. I was on it for IVF so on 10 units for about 5 days and then on 5 untis until ER (~10 days).

I am on supefact which is like lupron. So far I have had some migraines, but I am prone to them anyway, and really tired. It's not so bad! Not like the evil clomid! Good luck!

I got hot at night, and a few times during the day. I also had light headaches...not too bad.
