Prostap - bleeding after 4 months

Hi everyone

I have a very large fibroid (20cm!) which I am awaiting surgery for. I started Prostap in June. I had quite a bit of initial bleeding (which I was warned about) and then by start of August it all settled.

I had my next 3 month injection in September and have had no bleeding, until now. It’s not as heavy as it was pre injections (but my periods were crazy heavy because of the fibroid) however it’s still relatively heavy all things considered.

Has anybody else experienced this? Is it something I should worry about? I have contacted my endo nurse but unsure when I’ll get a response!

I don't think you need to worry. I bleed all the time on zoladex due to fibroids and it runs out early (9 weeks) for me. It could be stress, too much sugar or exercise or just the fibroid making the lining shed rather than your ovaries. Good luck with the op Xx
