How Long Does It Take For The Lupron Shots To Kick In?

I just wanted to the doctor I have several fibroids and they make me look like I am 4 months pregnant. My doctor would like me to start Lupron shots, to see if Lupron would shrink my fibroids. I will still need to get surgery. How long does it take for the Lupron shots to kick in?

Lupron takes 3 weeks to a month to start acting . Also if you stop taking suddenly the ibroid might grow again. Just follow what your doctor tells and you will be fine
