Zoladex help

Hi everyone

In June i had a laparoscopy to drain a 14cm chocolate cyst on my left ovary and told i had stage 4 endo. I was prescribed Zoladex injection and Tibolene tablets. I've recently had an ultrasound scan and the cyst has filled back up already to the same size.

after 5 injections of Zoladex i've recently had a proper period and bleeding most days. My understanding was that Zoladex would put my body into a menopausal state but doesn't feel like that's working :)

Now waiting for 2nd lap to try to remove the large cyst rather than drain it (which has stuck to my bowel) and remove my left ovary and blocked/twisted fallopian tube

Anyone else had similar experience of Zoladex not working or regulr bleeding whilst on it?

Sarah

Hi there! Sorry to hear about your experience. I have been on zoladex and tibolone for 3 months (had my fourth injection yesterday) I have nothing diagnosed and I have had no investigations either (my treatment has been shocking). I have been bleeding everyday for 3 months whilst on zoladex, some full on periods, some random heavy bleeding with clots, some spotting. The doctor has done nothing apart from change Tibolone to femoston-conti which I am refusing to take as it says not to take it if you have undiagnosed bleeding or a menstrual cycle in the past 12 months.
