H8 I'm currently on prostrap injections and I've found they work brilliantly for me. Perhaps you could ask uf you could have those instead. Sending you a safe hug too 🤗

The menopause injections are being routinely used to diagnose Endo and stop bleeding when they shouldn’t be. So, when they don’t stop bleeding etc, we’re told that there’s nothing wrong etc and this isn’t the case. I tried both Decapeptyl and Prostap and bled through both. If you are finding relief from pain, it may be worth trying a different brand - like Prostap - but if you aren’t, there is no point continuing with them and risking long term ill affects
