I paid to see a gynaecologist yesterday to hopefully speed up the NHS process alittle considering the pressure they are under. I thought that might give me all the information to take to my NHS appointment.
It turned out the consultant I saw was one I had seen before via the NHS. He was fab and suggested some injections that stop my ovaries working (?) along with HRT... We are trying these for 3 months andnif the pain and heavy periods are helped then it will help him know what to do next. I have already had 2 laps so he wanted to avoid another.
However, I didnt ask him the name of the injections or if they have side effects. Was wondering if anyone could help with that? It was hard to take all the info in yesterday.
Thank you All ♥️
I'm on prostap injections, they shut your ovaries down and put you into a temp menopause. I'm having them monthly and just had my third one. I'm taking HRT to help with any menopause side effects.....Tablet and a gel. I think the other injection is called Zoladex. take care xx
Thank you! This sounds just like what he described. How are you finding it? X
This is the second time I've been on these injections, last time I didn't have HRT to help with side effects and things were horrid, flushes, night sweats, joint pain, anxiety, but it did help with endo symptoms by the second month and stopped periods which was heaven. This time with the HRT I've had no menopause side effects which is good but it put my endo on overdrive and things are only just beginning to calm down now. Have you been given a date to start them?..... The nurse should give you all the details about side effects etc

I haven't... Waiting game again to get a referral I think. I will be sure to go armed with a notebook of questions
thank you for your help
No problemI hope your not waiting too long and it helps with your symptoms.
I list of questions is always a good idea, your brain goes blank when you walk in the room!!!
Have a happy day 🙂
