Hi there everyone, I'm hoping for some advice from you all. I've been put back on the prostap injections due to heavy non stop bleeding and clots. What is the longest you have been on prostap and what add back HRT did you have. Thanx all.

I’ve been on Prostap since early June while waiting for my hysterectomy. I don’t take HRT, I haven’t needed it because I don’t suffer with any side effects of Prostap xxx

I was on prostap for approx 8 months...i think i was told i could be on it for 6 without hrt but would have to start after that as it has side effect/risks of bone thinning.

I had my hysterectomy scheduled after 8 months so there was no point in me going onto hrt till after my surgery.

Even then i had to wait for over 4 weeks to take any. Xx

I am now 29. Had my total hysterectomy in 2016 i had just turned 28.

I have no children. I have beautiful nieces and my best friend had 2 girls and fosters.

Having biological children was never an issue for me. I would be hapoy to adpot if i decided to have children.
