Anyone else have cysts after first Lupron depot shot for endometriosis?

Hi everyone,

After 5 failed donor egg transfers I was diagnosed with silent endometriosis and my doctor started me on Lupron depot for three months prior to my FET transfer. I had my first depot injection two weeks ago and started having cramps and period like bleeding. Now at my follow up ultrasound today my doctor saw "many cysts" which apparently can be caused by initial surge of estrogen with Lupron. I'm waiting for results of bloodwork to talk to my doctor this afternoon. Anyone else have this experience on Lupron depot and did the cysts resolve on their own? I have never had this issue before and my baseline ultrasound before getting Lupron was normal, so I know it's due to either Lupron or the Letrozole I've been taking daily. Would be great to know if anyone else had the same issue and how it was resolved. Feeling very anxious now. Thanks so much for reading my post.
