(((hugs))) to you!

Doctors typically choose to use Lupron to help diagnose (or rule out endo). The endo symptoms are generally caused by hormonal changes throughout our menstrual cycle. Therefore, by suppressing the female hormones, the endo symptoms should slowly decrease during the shot treatment. If symptoms of pelvic misery aren't suppressed, then that rules out endometriosis as the cause.

I did take monthly shots of Lupron for 3 months. My monthly bloody misery abated in month 2. There are side effects of the medication: frequent night sweats, dry skin, hair loss/thinning. I think that there was another... I can't recall what it was, sorry! From there, I was to get a 3-month shot to get me more time.

Best wishes to you!
