Prostap and ivf

Hi, i had surgery on Tuesday to remove a tube, drain a cyst and have a prostap injection. I am recovering well, it was my 2nd lap so was more prepared this time.

My question is when will my period come? Is it like zoladex that it will be 2 weeks post injection? I was due my period on the day of surgery but i had the progesterone only pill to delay it and i think i have had just had a period, its hard to tell though.

I have a baseline scan at the ivf clinic on 31st oct, 3 week post surgery and injection. I cant have another one of these injections awake!

Bless you Sebb88

Hang on in there... You will know when your period will come. There is soo much technology and medication, that they put on.

As I said I didn’t have the chance to have ivf..

If you are unsure speak to your consultant, I’m sure they will explain everything..

Good luck Sebb88

hey dear

Zoladex affects the menstrual cycle and can continue to affect it afterwards, it is important to make sure your periods return to a regular, healthy cycle after the treatment is stopped.
