Prostap & HRT

Hi all... I’ve had endo for 16 years.. 3 laps, one baby and multiple trials to control it later and I’m starting on prostap with estrogen only HRT in the next few weeks.

Just wondered what to expect? I know you can have menopausal symptoms but my specialist said the HRT should stop or at least lessen them. She’s happy to keep me on it for five years if it works and then assess for a hysterectomy once we’re sure we don’t want any more babies (we defs don’t, one is enough and after some treatment for precancerous cells my chance of late miscarriage and premature birth is too scary!!)

Hi. I’ve just seen my specialist and she has now offered me prostap and HRT I’m now a little anxious since coming home after agreeing to it. I will get my first injection in 2 weeks, how are you finding it? Are you ok on it? X

Hiya :) I’ve put it off until the depo injection is out of my system! I’m quite anxious still, it’s just a bit scary that the side effects might be quite hard and you can’t just stop it as it’s injected each month. I’ve found some products on Holland and Barrett which I’m going to try so hopefully them and HRT will help x

Yes I feel the same way about the side affects, I feel like I’ve agreed to something and now wish I hadn’t! X

You can always change your mind before you have it done :) I did come across a post just after I replied to you by someone on here, and there were loads of positive experiences of it so that’s made me feel a lot better! X
