Interesting..... Maybe the decapeptyl is seen as suppressing the need for progesterone. Do you have a fake period at all? When I still had my uterus after having ovaries removed, I was on Estrogel hrt but told I needed to take progesterone every 3 months to ensure I had a bleed regularly, to ensure no thickening of womb lining and th of protect against uterine cancer. I used to dread it, as the progesterone made me feel so ill. You definitely need a period as per above.

I'd ask for a clear explanation. I used to take a notebook to appointments.... And still do!
