Yes. Same thing happened to me. But after that initial time, I never had another period again. This is normal. Your doctor should know this.
Hi @jgallagher04921, I moved your question about Lupron to the existing discussion you started where you can connect with members who have experience with Lupron and breast cancer like @stayc329 @cjs123172 @eku @sarahmh and @auntieoakley.
Lupron lowers the estrogen made by your ovaries. This medicine stops ovulation and eventually your monthly periods. At first, you may have some bleeding. Your periods may become lighter or heavier before they stop. This is the same as in menopause.
