I was the same. It was 14 weeks after last injection, which was also Oct. Came on Tuesday. I was getting concerned as well. My first lot of prostap injections I came on after 7 weeks, it was different this time and I only had 4 months worth. Not sure if it was because I had hrt medication x

Good to know!!! I had my last jab in early Dec, after 9 months of Prostap, and I haven’t seen any signs of life. I’m really hoping I don’t have to wait 14 weeks for fertility reasons but it is what it is .....

Hi, I had a laparoscopy done 10 days ago and I’m scheduled to commence Zoladex injections this week. I am unsure what to expect but from all I’ve read, it would delay your period but not sure about increasing the size of your tummy or the length of the delay. I look forward to reading the experience of others ahead of my treatment. All the best.

If you have “endo belly”, Zoladex should hopefully help it, not make it worse.

Think if you had longer course it may take longer for period to return. It is quite concerning as I thought maybe I was going into early menopause as I was having symptoms. I was obsessing about it not coming. But when it came I was really ill. Couldn’t stand and couldn’t go to work. I started bloating about week 10 and having terrible back and hip pains. I was also really irritable x
