Prostap...Pill

[meltwinkle]

Hi All

I've been to my appointment this week and has now been confirmed my case has gone to 2nd opinion by a specialist in Liverpool. I asked about being on the pill and prostap and still having periods. She now has suggested stop the pill and just prostap for another 6 months. She said this may then stop my periods as no longer on the pill. Does this sound right? I'm confused... can only be on prostap for 12 months and if don't have the op I go on different medication.

Hi that sounds very similar to what's happened to me. I have just had my 5th Prostap injection but for the first 4 I was told to take my pill throughout. I still had periods too so when I went back for my 5th they told me not to take my pill anymore. They said to me that sometimes the body doesn't agree with both the Prostap and pill so by not taking the pill the Prostap can do its job.

Hope that helps a little bit x

Hi Lindle

I am confused now I don't know what to do. They haven't said that to me. I usually carry pill over for 3 months so I don't have a period and I do that 3 months at a time. I'm due my period now and then pill starts again next week. I'm not at the hospital till end of May now. I don't know what to do now. Stop n see or carry it on :((
