Zoladex will shut down your ovaries, but it’s temporary, although it is still suggested that you should use contraception while on it!

It is to cut off some of the estrogen that feeds Endo to at least slow it in its track! I have currently just started my 5th course! It isn’t great, I’ll admit, but for me, if it lowers my risk of needing a colostomy, I’ll try anything! Xx
