Prostap 3 for endo stage 4 still in pain especially before my period would of been due

[Anita80]

Hi I found out a few months ago I have stage 4 endometriosis. I have just had my 2nd prostap 3 injection which I have 3 monthly for 12 months. I am still in pain more or less every day especially the week coming up to when my period was due, and each month around that time I have a bit of spotting I am worried the injections aren't working can anybody help?

Hi thanks for replying, I'm 35 I had always had very bad periods but never thought it was anything to worry about. I went to a family planning centre to have a new coil put it after having hard time trying to put it in they opted for 5 year 1 this was last may. Then my pains got worse I finally got referred to a gynae by a locum Dr and was sent for a ultra sound. They found I had a cyst on my ovary I was then sent for biopsys and a change of coil they put Mirena in to lighten my bleeding. The cyst was monitored and it kept growing I was then sent to a cancer specialist gynae who I am still under as my grandma who is still with us had ovarian cancer at 34. In March I was taken in for a laparoscopy that's when they said is was a chocolate cyst which they ruptured and that I had stage 4 endo even though cancer not an issue they have not referred me to a endo specialist and put me on 12 month prostap injection which I have every 3 month and hrt.
