Everybody is different with Prostap and similar drugs. I didn’t bleed at all but was warned I could. It should stop and then you should start to get some benefits. I’d say hang in there as you could feel a lot better very soon. However, If the bleeding doesn’t stop ring your gynaecologist. I don’t think it’s normal to continually bleed. Hope you’re feeling much better soon.

I dont think I want it anymore the bleeding is too much, I have lots of pain with it. Mines to stop my periods completely so im in no pain from Endometriosis as the mirena hasnt stopped my periods neither😢

Hi,

I am due 3rd prostap injection next week -to shrink fibroids before surgery. I have had small amount of bleeding every day since the first injection :(

No pain...but it’s constant 🙄

It’s quite a drug!! Has sent me a bit crazy at times.

Hope you are ok-sending love, it’s a shit journey...but will be ok in the end🤞🏻 👊🏻👊🏻Xx

I think it is totally different for Endo then with fibroids bleeding and pain wise...so not sure I am any help to you :((

You need to demand an appointment with someone who knows what they are talking about to discuss ASAP...I wish you luck with that!!!

Oh you are far too young to be dealing with this! I am 42 and still feel I am too young!

Do you have a good friend/mum/sister or partner you can take with you for a doc appointment to support you ? They will remember more than you. Make a list ...ask all the questions you need answering! Never feel it’s a stupid one.xx

I was first diagnosed at 16. Then they left me until I had my daughter at 21 after I had her I then struggled really badly with it then they gave me the lap surgery to remove it .

Ill get there slow journey but im not having the pro stap again it sent me crazy, feeling rubbish & just awful side effects ... thank you so much for your help. Its nice to have someone different or someone going through similar situation

Hope you get sorted. I never managed to have children. I am going to carry on with the prostap purely in the hope it allows a bikini cut rather then a vertical :/ urgh it’s all just horrid!

We are strong ladies! 👊🏻👊🏻Xx
