Hi, I've had one prostap injection. Things were going great, I thought they might be the best thing ever.However my anxiety has crept in. My second injection was due today but I cancelled it.

I've had one heavy bleed last week. I didn't have hrt with it, it was there waiting for me if I needed it.

I am on antidepressants anyway. I just feel emotional, I wouldn't exactly say I'm a hot anxious mess, I'm just very emotional and have a pit in my stomach - which is why I have cancer my second injection. I don't want to carry on if it makes me feel like this. I can't and won't risk my mental health, I'd rather deal with the physical of it.

I have endo and adeno.

How long, after 1 injection, does it take to come out of your system? I've got an appointment on Monday with a clinician to discuss next steps.

I would persevere with the injections as the anxiety comes and goes, plus i had it before the injections. Sending you a big hug. Ooh i think its six weeks but as you've only had ine injection it's probably much less time. X

Thank you, I don't think I want to carry on with them. My mental health is more important to me, I would rather deal with the physical pain than the mental aspect of it. Hopefully it starts to wear off sooner rather than later then Thank you for replying
