On lupron (leuprolide) for fibroids and endo, also taking 2mg estrace as addback. started spotting and bleeding, 20 days now. why? can estrace make fibroids grow?

Doubtful, but: Estrace is estradiol (common estrogen) so it stimulates the endometrium. I'd 100% expect spotting on Lupron/Estrace, heavy bleeding not so much. Ask your prescribing doctor for further information, hope this helps you.
