Prostap/Zoladex? Am I imagining this?

[Rosie1969]

The reason I went on Prostap is because irrespective of the endo symptoms, my mood swings & anxiety levels had become out of control.

At 43, I have been symptom-wise recognised as being peri menopausal for about 6 yrs now since the birth of my daughter. Low Oestrogen blood tests & symptoms have been helped by HRT. As I had an ablation I haven't bled for over 2 yrs but knew my body was still cycling

& ovulating. It was PMT to the extreme eventually recognised as PMDD. A Long dark path which led to Prostap.

It cannot be denied that after 4 x monthly injections & now a few wks into my first 3monthly one, life is much improved. I am managing far better. The migraines, tiredness & weight gain are for me something worth enduring, a fair trade off, in preference to the bomb that was being thrown into my family on a regular monthly basis.

Well after that rambling intro, back to my original question? Whilst not as extreme, I am still getting diluted pains, emotions, bloating, everything I had whilst ovulating. I have also noticed that the usual white, ordourless mucus, I have at this time is still occurring.

Does anyone else on Prostap or Zoladex still feel like they are ovulating? Has the nurse put mine in the wrong place?

The zoladex implants have to go into your tummy - I assume prostrap is the same.

I would do some research into the three monthly jab and whether it's licensed for Endo - the three monthly zoladex jabs aren't. I'd had a few of the four weekly jabs and was doing well, then was given the three monthly jab and all my symptoms returned - when I looked into it, they say the three monthly version cannot actually fully control your cycle. I went through three horrid months and then things improved again when I went back on the 4 weekly jabs.

Are you taking HRT still? I wonder if the less effective prostrap coupled with HRT is responsible for your symptoms - I was I zoladex for two years and never took the HRT as I was concerned about it triggering the Endo. Turns out that was a very bad idea and I'm still paying for it years later, but I think thats more to do with the length of time I was on the treatment.

Sounds to me like youre still ovulating etc and I would have thought this should have stopped by your point in the treatment. Did they stop before the 3 monthly jab?
