Experiences with

Triptorelin

Hi everyone... has anyone else had bleeding when on tripterelin monthly injections with daily tibolone add back? Had my first injection about 3 weeks ago after surgery, and this would have been around the time of my period - had very light bleeding yesterday and slightly heavier today.

Well, I have not searched about this for long, but while I wait to see if estrogen patches will be approved in europe for metastatic cancer, I am having doubts about switching from triptorelin (which did and is still doing its job) to relugolix.

Hiya, I'm 31 and currrently being treated with 3 monthly triptorelin injections. It worked okay for the first 3 months (very mild pain randomly). As I went for the 2nd injection in July, I picked up my HRT as I started getting hot flushes.

hi all today I have to do trigger shot but I was struggling a lot to refil the syringe also too much air gone on it’s triptorelin 0.2 mg. Also when take air out some medicine go out some left in bottle . As it’s really difficult to take all of it. Could anyone guide is it normal.?

I was put on triptorelin on and off till last year but a month after I got off I started having period blood again , Anyone experienced this ?

Plus I still have the unopened Decapeptyl triptorelin shot just in case I need it later Ha!

In December 2022 following diagnoses of advanced prostate cancer with multiple bone metastasis I started zytiga + prednisone and 6 monthly triptorelin injections every 6 months, (unfortunately triplet therapy is not part of SOC in Scotland).

I was in birth control for a month, then started on triptorelin injections close to 40 days but I don't want to transter my embryo and lose it as doctor said it's not an optimal env for embryo . I only have 2 left and was planning to put an end to these treatments.

I went on 9 month Triptorelin injections( GNRH like lupron Zoladex etc) and 6 months on add back therapy and birth control pills after having a major surgery last year to remove Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, cysts adhesions etc.

As of December 2023, I have been put on GnRH (Triptorelin) with add back (Tibolone) and frankly I am wondering where this merry-go-round of feeling dreadful stops?! 🤯 My day-to-day quality of life is not good at all.

Edit: If that is any interest, he couldn't handle monthly injections of Degarelix (Firmagon) so he switched to Decaptetyl (Triptorelin) every 3 months and his PSA actually dropped further. Not sure if it's related though.

On the other hand the 0.5 triptorelin which goes into bum muscle is freaking me out. Nurse said if blood comes into the syringe then take it out and try other buttock. Any last minute tips to deal with this injection? Hope you're all having great weekends 🤗

Buserelin, Goserelin, Leuprorelin & Triptorelin are GnRH agonists, whereas Degarelix is a GnRH antagonist.

I am on Casodex 50 mg ( bicalutamide) daily and a monthly injection of Diphereline P.R 3.75mg (triptorelin). They seem work well on me, but I am losing weight ( 15 pounds in the last 5 months). I don't eat meat now but fish and small serve of vegetable plus rice and bread.

He took out the cervix , uterus and womb tbough and I’m back on triptorelin for the next 3months as he would need a bowel specialist for the remaining part of the surgery ! Has anyone experienced this before?

I have been on Decaptyl (triptorelin) for 6 months with awful side effects (even with adback). The endo nurse mentioned I may need to stay on Decaptyl after the operation to my horror! Question. Is is likely my surgeon will want to keep me on Decaptyl post surgery? If so why?

Have been (and still are) on 1000Mg Zytiga since February 2018 as well as Triptorelin Neither my Med Onc or Radiation Onc. can come up with a plan for further treatment. They have not given up, but are researching options for me.

Why is Trelstar (triptorelin) so rarely prescribed in the US? It appears to be the first choice agonist in the UK.

I've always been troubled by the observation that GnRH agonists (like Lupron, Gosarelix, Zoladex, and Triptorelin) had a high risk of cardiotoxicity while GnRH antagonists (Firmagon and Orgovyx) did not. Why should they be different if they both lower testosterone?

My fasther is on 12 weekly triptorelin injections on last 4 years now abiraterone stopped working already started steroid switch few days ago, now doctor suggested for orchiectomy if somebody with knowledge shares goods and bads of orchiectomy or if continue with injection treatments?
