I'm a little confused, doesn't lupron throw you into menopause? It is not a fertility med and it has serious side effects. I found the following info:

Lupton Depot 3.75 mg (leuprolide acetate for depot suspension) is given to decrease the production of estrogen by your ovaries.

When you take Lupron Depot 3.75 mg, your hormone levels are decreased to menopausal levels or lower. This low level can result in thinning of the bones which may not be completely reversible in some patients. There are certain conditions that may increase the possibility of the thinning of Your bones when you take a drug such as Lupron Depot 3.75 mg.

If you are Trying to Conceive why are you on Lupron and birth control pills?
