Hi....

I have no experience with Lupron and I am a little younger than you ( 26 yrs old), but I do have experience with pelvic/abdomninal pain .

If you have not already done so, please ask to be referred to and seen by Gyn dr. They are the ones that have the best training to deal with endometriosis and other women's issue (vs just a family dr).

(btw--I have never heard of Lupron being being able to confirm a diagnosis of endometriosis)

About 18 mo ago, at age 24, I started having pelvic/abdominal pain, that for the longest time was basically blown off by my internal med drs. When I was FINALLY referred to a Gyn, she was able to figure out what was really happening; and after doing a few simple tests realized my "small" ovarian cysts that "shouldn't be causing pain" (according to my internal med dr) had grown very large AND endometriosis was suspected. A few months later my Gyn did Laporascopy and some other procedures, and the endometriosis was confirmed. I still battle with Endometriosis-- but at least now I know "for sure" what is causing the pain.

More recently, I was also diagnosed with a condition known as Interstitial Cystitis--- by a GYN, after many years of my regular doctors--- while very well intention, thought the symptoms were from a UTI or stress, or overactive bladder (Overactive bladder and IC can have some similiar symptoms) . My Gyn put me on a med that treats IC vs just overactive bladder and my IC issues have improved a lot.

My point is, you need to see the right specialists, so you can accurate diagnosis. Sometimes symptoms overlap and sometimes things presently differently than norm (for instance with my ovarian cysts they often press on my nerves and in addition to pain, i also have tingling --which can confuse people). Once you get an accurate diagnosis, then you can get the right treatments and that can make all the difference.

I know its tough and I can really empathize with you--- hang in there !
