I was on Zoladex and I definitely had some firm of period/spotting after being on it a few weeks. After the 2nd injection it stopped.

I agree, it will take a bit longer for the injection to have its full affect. If you're still in a lot of pain after the second month though I'd check it with your doctor.

Hey,

Please try not to worry. I spoke to my doctor about this as I had the same thing happen to me and the pain got worse after my first injection. The doctor told me that often after the first injection your syptoms can "flare" but once this bad period is over, you should start to really feel the benefits of the zoladex. He was right! I think it may have something to do with your hormones going a bit mad because of the injection. I must say that after my second injection I felt the best I have in ages and I really hope you will get the same relief.

Best of luck to you xxx
