Taking "depot Lupron" for endometriosis will arrest progression of this disease, and reduce instances of infertility. Continuous low dose oral bcp's are usually prescribed in cases of endometriosis, which essentially will provide similar protection for preservation of fertility. If pregnancy is desired, a prior hysterosalpingogram (HSG) may ascertain tubal patency.
