Well, it looks as if it's not so common that women here have used it. Sorry there were no responses. ☹️

So, I've done some sleuthing around the web in sources I trust-it appears this therapy uses during chemo can significantly increase your chance of maintaining your fertility. Here's a link to National Institutes of Health: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC28...

Here's a link that shows potential side effects: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.drugs.com/amp/...

I know it's not the same as learning directly from a sister soldier's experience, but it's a start.

I had luprin injections to shut down my ovaries before chemo because I'd read it increased my chances by 18% of retaining my fertility (and preventing menopause.)
Alas. It didn't work. I was 43 and had already had my 3 kids so all it meant for me was early menopause. (which still sucks, but not as bad as losing fertility!) Oh, I hope it works for you!!!!!
