Lupron and lifting

[footrat]

So, my wife has PCOS and endometriosis. She also has a hx of uterine fibroid and chronic migraines. Because she's only 32, her OBGYN is very hesitant to perform a hysterectomy. He wants to try Lupron, both as a treatment and, as my wife understands, to give her an idea of what menopause and post-hysterectomy life will be like.

She's had Lupron once, before she had kids, and it made her feel horrible, and made her headaches worse. The OBGYN said that after a pregnancy, Lurpon can have different side effects than before, so it might not be as bad.

I was wondering if you've ever coached any women on Lupron for endometriosis, and how it alters their ability to proceed through the novice progression, if at all.

I have coached a handful of people on Lupron, which is interesting in retrospect. It has no effect that would require special changes in programming during the novice progression.

Thanks, Jordan. Good to know.

Out of curiosity, what did you mean by, "which is interesting in retrospect"?

I just found it interesting that I'd had a few folks on it. Seemed like it wouldn't be more than 1, if any, but for whatever reason I've had 4 or 5 if I remember correctly

Ah, I understand now.

Were they all women? All being treated for endometriosis/fibroid?

My brief research indicated that it is used for both men and women with certain cancers, too. My worry was that replicating the hormonal changes of menopause might somehow interfere with my wife's ability to progress in a linear fashion, or at all.

They weren't all women- no.

I wouldn't predict or even expect any meaningful change her ability to train.

Awesome.

Again, thanks for your time.
