Hi Ca,
Thanks for trusting us for your health related queries.
Lupride injection is actually a hormone, which creates an artificial menopause & therefore used for the treatment of hormone dependent conditions like endometriosis & fibroids.
It is an expected response not to have a period once you are on this injection.
Don't worry this effect is transient & if all else remains okay your periods are expected to return back once you discontinue this therapy.
Hope I have addressed your concerns. Please write back if you have any question.
Wish you good health.
Best regards.
