Your results really don't make too much sense to me. It is almost as if you have a source of estrogen that is independent of any residual ovarian tissue and that is not suppressed by Lupron. I will assume that you are not taking any estrogen, or any supplements that might have estrogen in them. This is a real puzzler.
