Continued cycle-linked symptoms minus the bleeding during Zoladex 3.6mg for 3 month

[TracyRockChickGray]

I have just completed 3mth Zoladex 3.6.

I didn't bleed apart from 2x days spotting during first inj.

But my cycle symptoms continued minus the blood basically.

In fact I've been in A&e twice during the treatment on my knees in pain during "ovulation" time. A bleed would have been welcomed actually to release the pressure I felt in my uterus.

I have been refused a hysterectomy and told my swelling is IBS (I have no has and normal regular bowel function during belly bloat) but do suffer diahorrea during bleed time and constipated during ovulation week. And to see a urologist for IC which I suffer eith as everything expands inside due to my adenomyosis and endometriosis diagnosis.

Go home and have a mirena cool or mini pill until you menopause at 50ish (I'm 42 now).

I had constant pain and cramping associated with my 3yr based regular as clockwork diary app of my cycle, at cycle time, but no blood.

I've been made to feel like I'm crazy.

Hi, hoping to offer some advice. I was on zoladex for 13 months - the first few months the body is getting used to being switched off. I was given hrt. Took a pill made me feel not quite right. Then went on the patches and was brilliant.

You mentioned ovulation pain and cramping - sounds like your still have period pains but not the period - if you go past month 4 of zoladex they will subside... for me after month 4-5 I was much happier less pain less endometriosis and I even lost weight... which I struggle with. Docs should only recommend mirena coil if they have done your complete hormonal blood profile...
