> Hi. I just had my second Lupron injection yesterday. I only stopped bleeding a couple of days ago. It is normal to bleed during the first few weeks because during that time, your body produces more estrogen and symptoms of endometriosis will often worsen. Only after a period of worsening and over-producing do your ovaries and everything shut down.
Hope you feel better! Andrea
