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

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.
