Following a laparotomy after 600ml of fluid spilled into my pelvis because of am endometrial cyst, you can imagine at the age of 26 with no children how terrified I was when the doctors told me, it's either zoladeX or a histerectomy. I had read several horrible stories about the treatment and it scared me the thought of going through menopause at my age terrified me. I first started the treatment along with livial hrt and g asked the doctor if g could take the progesterone only pill as contraception. Low and behold he agreed. For the first few months I felt low, had anxiety started feeling generally depressed. All of a sudden I ran out of hrt I couldn't get the doctors straight away so I stuck to taking the pill. As the days went on g started feeling happier. I've now been off the hrt for 3 months and I can happily say g feel like me again. And for anyone worried about the injections, they only hurt if they catch a nerve ending which has only happened once in all the injections g have had. I now feel happy and hopefully confident that I might get pregnant in the next year following this.

Lovely post
I'm on the same HRT I might try a few days without. So glad your doing well x
Hiya, Thanks so much for posting this!! I'm due my second zoladex next Monday and was wondering whether I should not go ahead with it as struggling with emotions and having a melt down most days. I'm taking progesterone only pill with it too, and feeling SO low. I have hope now that it may get better after reading your post. Any other advice as how you best coped with the lows and anxiety? I'm not on any hrt add back therapy. I don't really want to take any more than I have to!!
