Yes, that is what I am saying. There is more that factors into whether a person feels the suppression, in addition to the pacing of the injections that include steroids. For instance, mine were not done on too "tight" a time-frame. I have autoimmune disease to start with. Other people? maybe there are other health factors that deserve consideration.

I'm just a patient, and haven't all the answers.

I only know what I experienced, and not due to any mess up on my doc's part or on mine. Just having a sucky health system going in was ample to fuel more probs. My body is now back to normal, and it did take several months and no injections or medications with any type of steroids for my body to get itself back on course or "normal" (readings for FSH, Estradiol, etc.).

Myself? I am also quite reserved and shy - in settings outside my comfort zone. But, if there is something that can help others (and help them avoid the turmoil I faced), I do get gutsy and speak up. Maybe if someone else would have, I would not have been through such a roller coaster - of emotions and tests that actually were not necessary (to rule out cancer of this and that type because hormones were in chaos thanks to? steroids used in PM procedures).

Maybe if someone else would have suggested the doc's office do a more detailed discussion pre-op I could have "known" and so, too, could my other doctors have considered the effects. It would have spared me a lot of heartache, and I would not have had to hear the pain in my doc's voice when she called one evening about the possibility of cancer. (I didn't and don't have cancer, and nothing will take away the fear and the pain of the roller coaster, which could have been avoided ... if only I had known.)
