Hi ladies, just looking for some advice! I had 1 prostap injection to down regulate before starting IVF, that was 8 weeks ago. Just wondering how long it should take for my period to come back so I can start this IVF journey! Feeling very anxious!

Thank you xxx

Hi! I was supposed to have 6 months worth but had to stop due to dangerous side effects. I had 1 prostap injection and my periods returned 11 months later. Xx

11 months! OMG that's ages & disappointing to read, after just 1 injection. I was hoping to start IVF as soon as possible :(

I was 17 at the time so it may have just been my body being slow! I wish you the best of luck with your IVF! I’m sure that they’re are ways they can help the cycle! 💖

I did ivf straight after prostap and I didn’t need to wait for a bleed to start ivf. They calculated the prostap was meant to last 12 weeks and started the stims then xx
