post prostap... can anyone share their experience?

[Jjuulliiee]

I have been diagnosed with severe endo and after keyhole surgery I was put on 6 months Prostap injections which basically made me go into menopause... I must say the worst part was the hot flashes and headaches... but I had the last injection (6th) 14th of April and now I am really nervous about getting my periods... I have heard it is very painful and heavy... can anyone share their experience with me? thank u

hi! i was on Zoladex but they never fully put me into menopause, just made me very hormonal instead. though they did stop my daily pain for 6 weeks. i finished my 6 month course about 2 months ago and my pain has returned to daily pain, aching etc. However i did have the morning after pill the other weekend so this could be making this worse (?) my period hasn't been heavy since finishing them but like i said, they didn't stop them all together. i hope that it turns out ok for you! x

I have prostrap injections. Just had my 2nd one and before I had my 2nd one there was like a 3 week window before I had my next and I did start to notice those fmailiar pains returning. I had no bleeding though and thats probably due to having the mirena coil. The only thing I did really notice which may sound bizarre, is that my stomach seemed to change. It became like heavy and bloated which I put down to perhaps I was going to start a period but obviously haven't. Had another prostrap injection a wek ago so hoping it all kicks in soon

thanks, after my first injection I was told I might get my periods and I did... it was one of the worst periods I ever had so that freaks me out even more plus I have to get on a plane for 11 hours tomorrow and I am hoping it goes well... I have been researching a lot about this and some say your periods take a while to come in but my doctor says I should get them 30-35 days after my last injection... day 30 and counting... btw I too got the bloating

hope all goes well with you

I had my last one 2 months ago prior to that was on cerazette so had no periods for 14 months. I have had 3 surgeries in that time and only minimal bleeding after them. I like you have the pain back and I'm only 6 weeks post op to supposedly make me "pain free". No sign of period but dreading it as been told it is very painful xx

there is so many different views that I am getting really confused... my doctor says it really depends on the individual some find their pain reduces and some find it increases... that basically takes me back to square one!!

I hope you don't get loads of pain, and like you I am really dreading it
