Hi Everyone, I am having my first Prostap injection tomorrow as I've reached the end of the road with the mini pill. It was making me bleed which got worse. I came off it for a week under Dr's advice, and took norethisterone so I could stop bleeding enough to have my smear test. I am now having the most horrendous heavy bleed I've ever had. I'm hoping Prostap is the answer but I'm scared of the side effects and if it will make me bleed like everything else seems to.
I'm already having some menopause symptoms, it's the bleeding that worries me the most. I will be stuck with it for 3 months.
I'm feeling quite scared and apprehensive about having it but feel I don't have any choice as nothing else works.
Thanks for reading x

I can understand why you're nervous. Prostap can make you feel a bit rubbish for a few months, and it takes a while for it to kick in, however I've been on it now since Feb 2020, and the bleeding does stop. My bleeding was horrendous, and pain too, however prostap does work. Make sure you get some kind of HRT addback though, as it is harder without this.
Wishing you all the luck with it, and I hope the bleeding calms soon. Sending good vibes.
