Triptorelin injection but having really bad flare ups?

Hiya, I'm 31 and currrently being treated with 3 monthly triptorelin injections. It worked okay for the first 3 months (very mild pain randomly). As I went for the 2nd injection in July, I picked up my HRT as I started getting hot flushes. Within 2 weeks of taking HRT, I've had to to take 5 days off work because of extreme pain and a horrible period. It's like the injections have been a complete waste of time.

The pain is just like it was before my first laparoscopy back in 2019. It was completely unbearable. The pain has only just started to subside, but I'm due back at work tomorrow and I'm absolutely exhausted! I might not even go to work tomorrow just to actually be able to rest and recover.

I'm under an endo clinic in hospital but to get an appointment is a mission. My next follow up isn't until November and it's only over the phone.

I'm debating whether or not to have the next injection in September? I can't see the point if I'm still going to be getting a period and be in pain? I feel like it's a waste of my time? Has anyone had a similar experience or have any suggestions? It would be greatly appreciated!
