It has been amazing. First couple of months were hard but after that I had a massive improvement on my life

Omg that’s amazing to hear! Did you suffer from quite a lot of pain if you don’t mind me asking? How long have you been on it for?I’m 39 years old, nearly 40. My periods were not really a problem as they were not heavy and only lasted a few days. My endo symptoms are:

Cramps and lower back and pelvic pain every single day of my life even after excision. I get horrendous PMS that seems to last weeks, nausea and fatigue.

Nausea seems to be better, periods are gone however, I am still hormonal but have not been on HRT for long. Weight seems to be piling on.

And my pain has not been relieved.

I am praying that next injection is going to tackle the pain.

How long have you been on it and have you got a “next plan”? Or just to see how you cope without the prostap and HRT?

I hope you don’t mind me asking all these questions, I am just deflated and am hoping things will

Improve with my next injection. Thanks so much. Xx

No worries, I have been on it approx 18m. I started with 3m of 1m Injections and then started hrt which helped with lots. I then moved on to the 3m injection which was more manageable. I have all similar symptoms but did struggle with mental health when first started. However everything soon settled and it has been such a relief and I have got my life back. I'm now worries what will happen next.
