hi all, can anyone help please, had my 1st prostrap monthly injection on 9th May, first week felt nothing, all of a sudden on day 10, nausea and stabbing pains down below, has anyone else experienced this? My nhs gynaecologist is saying it’s not normal, but my private gynaecologist saying it is and should calm down after the 2nd injection scheduled for 7th June, any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to remember that the injection stimulates everything first then calms it down. It will get better in month two x most people bleed in the first month too so it could be cramps. I had stabbing pains and a lot of bleeding. Be patient as it generally takes 3 months to settle. Are you on addback HRT?

Hi, thank you, yes I have been on hrt from day one, the worst part so far is the nausea and dizziness.
