It's been 2 month since I've had the zoladex injection (my first one out of the 2 for six month) and I'm starting the feel the pain coming back and my periods have been on and off! I'm so fed up with it now can anyone give me advice on what to do! Should I go back to doctors or is this expected?!

Hi Amy, I've been on zoladex for 3 months now (waiting for ivf) im relatively pain free and no periods. It doesn't sound like it's working as it should so best go back to your gp.

Hi I went back on zoladex in June meant to be for 6 months as I was having a rough time. The last time I had it for years and had no issues before I stopped to have IVF . This time I didn't go back for my 2nd one in the 6 months as it wasn't working I had a bad reaction this time. Constant bleeding I had about 5 days not in 3 months and the pain was awful and I just thought what is the point having it if I'm no better than when I don't. I would go back. I rang up and cancelled mine as I live two hours away from my hospital and I go back in December for a chat. Obviously everyone is different. Hope u feel better soon x

Thanks for your replies. I think I will contact my gynae and see what he recommends I thought the injection was going to help!!! I haven't even had any menopause symptoms!!
