Breakthrough and normal periods can still happen on prostap I still saw for a few months when I first started on it while my body adjusted to the hormone changes but it did get less but I’d still check with gp or gyney as sometimes it doesn’t work unfortunately with endo one size doesn’t fit all it’s a matter of find what works best to reduce pain and flare ups. 😊

Hi there it’s quite normal for that to happen I had the same. Prostap was amazing for me once it worked and gave me my life back - I had 3 rounds of it altogether as the pain did come back but during those 3 month periods of time it was heaven. After the last lot I went onto a tablet called Provera 10mg 3 times a day which I’ve been on for nearly 2 years - it’s kept the pain away apart from the odd day here and there. Good luck xx

I had zoladex but had to take the monthly injections because when I tried the three monthly ones they would wear off after around 8 weeks.
