Hi! I’m on my 3rd injection too and have a lot of bloating. I also have a lot of bleeding I shouldn’t be having 🙃

Hi I’ve been on this since October, I’ve had various side affects it seemed like every injection I got a new symptom, I got the bloating and loss of appetite on my 4th injection. Can I ask you ladies what dose you are on I only ask as my GP has refused to give me my last injection as his querying the dose as I’ve been given the 11.25mg the 3 monthly injection every month.

Mine is 3mg. I have experienced very low mood and loss of appetite and extreme bloated and very bad hot flushes I don’t know if it’s worth it

Thanks for your reply, ask your consultant for the add-back medication it may help with the hot flushes and the low mood, I’m not sure if it helps with the bloating. I’ve not had the add-back medication so can’t offer advice on it, hope you feel better soon.
