The process has started-DE

So I had my prostap injection today to 'down regulate'. Not too painful. Did anyone start to feel any physical side effects after this? Already all over the place emotionally, does it exacerbate these feelings?

I was just a bit bruised through my down regulating. And a bit emotional at times. Especially as I got closer and closer to the trip away for DE treatment.

Good luck with your journey xx

I keep saying I'm really lucky to have no side affects (apart from weight gain) but I do have a constant urge to smash my OH in the face! Could be the meds or it could be normal 😩😂xxx

I was very emotional at first and cried for the first 3 injections. Now 15 days in I'm fine having injections. I think I've got off lightly in terms of mood swings (husband might say differently haha) but I have had a few headaches, cramps and started spotting after 5th injection and have ever since. Feel like period is coming but it might not. Keep switching sides for injections. It helps with bruising. Good luck! Just take one day at a time and cry when you want to! It's a very emotional time xxxx

I am only having the 1 injection and start progynova after my first scan to check lining, which will be day 2/3 after period. Dose and times of day to be confirmed by clinic depending on how my body responds. I am already emotional without drugs but more on the angry/erratic scale rather than crying scale ( so far). X

I had two Prostrap injections during my treatment, other than a lump at the site of injection and period type pains for a couple of days I didn't have any side effects.
