I am not part of the medical community, but I just recently completely the Depot Lupron injections. I was disappointed to find out until after my injections that Lupron is only safe for use 3 times in a woman's life. The recommendation for me has been not to use Lupron again until after I have had surgery to remove most of the endometriosis. The first time I had the injections (Nov - April) I didn't have any removal first. I started having symptoms again in September (only 5 months after stopping injections) I was told they would last 2-5 years. My recommendation for you would be to do a lot of research and find out as much information first before doing this. Good luck!
