Endometriosis: Lupron (leuprolide) should increase your chances of pregnancy right after you stop it (can't get pregnant will taking it). After an interval, the endometriosis will return to cause issues.

Maybe: There is little evidence that treating endometriosis with lupron, (leuprolide) zoladex or other other gnrh agonists will help you get pregnant even after surgery even though this is commonly done. On the contrary, surgery and ivf may help. There is some recent evidence that prolonged suppression with Lupron (leuprolide) before ivf may be helpful so this likely why your dr is doing this.
