It is normal to get a hormone surge in the first month of taking it so things tend to get worse before they get better - it takes a while for it to put you into menopause. That said, I had 5 months on it last year and my periods didn't stop (although they became much lighter).
Please ring your consultant if you are worried

Thank you joreilly, this is really helpful.
Hi I had a decapeptyl shot mid January and had severe bleeding and pain the first month but thankfully I haven't had any bleeding or spotting since, I usually had bleeding three weeks a month so it's been brilliant in that sense. Have you had any side affects of decapeptyl so far?
I have struggled with moods and early morning sweats which disturb my nights sleep leaving me tired for the day. I also had bad headaches at first and had to get meds of the doctor for them. The thing that's help me most since the shot is I started a new job which I am loving, its been a great distraction but I know I'm just not feeling myself if that makes any sense to you.
