Hello ma'am.
The presentation could most probably be due to the shedding of the endometrial lining seen in the form of bleeding, caused by the lupron shot.
The endometriosis canmot be treated with these medications and they can only help to reduce the severity temporarily which will help in gping about surgery in an easier manner.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
