Decapeptyl Injection

[RenRemSasse]

Hello.

Does anyone have experience having decapeptyl SR injections due to ovarian cyst?

I was informed it helps with ?shrinking ovarian cysts before IVF?

I had it 23 days ago. It seem to give me back pain this week and headaches.

Is this normal?

Thank you for reaching.

I had decapeptyle prescribed for long protocol IVF to stop ovulation from the cycle day 15 until next cycle egg collection

Honestly it is not a very nice injection, I had bruises with it and had some side effects as mood swings but nothing major to be honest..

Sorry can not be of more help!

The injection "switches off " your hormones and hopefully this should shrink the ovarian cyst .Can cause symptoms that are very similar to the menopause -hot flushes - mood swings - headaches But these are only temporary whilst using injections If backache continues maybe you should let your clinic/doctor know

Hi,

I had this shot for my down reg, and it was horrible injection, ached for nearly a week at the site, and had a bad headache until I got my period. My mood swings were also a nightmare,

I hope it improves for you,

I had it twice on different occasions. Once before a myomectomy and it didn't affect me to be honest. Then secondly before deciding to do surgery to remove endometriosis and it really affected me. I kept feeling dizzy as if the ground was spinning or rising up, I just wasn't well but I had for 3 months and had to stop because of the side effect.

Hi.

Yes I felt dizzy too one time I thought I was just stress from having overnight duty, so it was the medication then.

Thanks for replying I appreciate it.

Kind regards.
