Missed zoladex

Hi lovely ladies. I have a zoladex injection every 2 months but I have stupidly got confused and missed one by 4 weeks 🤦‍♀️. Should I be worried? Thank you xx

Hi

Mine are every 28 days, probably best to call the surgery. Hopefully all will be ok, have you noticed any difference?

Hi Sally,

Hope you don’t mind me asking, but what is it like having one of these injections? I’m due to have one a month before I have an operation to remove my Fybroid and I’m slightly anxious about what the injection will be like.

Thanks,

Michelle

If it helps I use Emla cream to numb the area about an hour and half beforehand. I don’t notice it much then. Mine is just to the side and belo belly button.

Thank you I am so nervous about having it done, but I am sure it won’t be as bad as I think, I am such a worrier.

I won’t lie it is sore. I don’t use numbing cream as the pain only last literally 2 mins but that is a good suggestion if your anxious. I just hold my breath and then it’s done. You will be totally fine 😘

Thank you, that helps to know what to expect. Did you get any bruising afterwards? 😘

[Hidden in reply to Cakes34]

I don’t but I know you can. I had one this morning and it’s just a red puncture wound it doesn’t really hurt now. I took a photo to show you but it won’t let me upload it xx
