Period after prostap...

[DaisyL]

How long after prostap injections did you get your period? I am just wanting mine to come!

A gynae clinic doctor told me it would be at least six months, could be up to a year, but it turned out to be only two months for me. Suggests this varies quite a bit? Sorry that probably doesn't help

Wow hope it doesn't take 6 months!! Glad yours was sooner that gives me hope x

I had a 3 month Prostap in July so it ran out in October -had a 'period' in the November and then just come on again 7 weeks after that one! I have heard it can be months but everyone's bodies are differant! Hope it comes soon for you xxx

I think the average is 6 months, which means for some women its less and others its more! I had my last 3 month jab in july, but havent had a period yet - I'm not in a for one hurry either!

Thank you! I want one as we want to try for a baby x

Hi Daisy

I didn't really want mine back.. After the first 6 months injection (of Prostap) it only took 6.5 weeks after the last injection.. So back again on more injections (another 2 months) and this time it actually took 13, almost 14 weeks for it to re-appear after the last injection. So now I'm back on more Prostap injections. I might be lucky (the other way ) this time..

Good luck, enjoy lots of 'making babies' (pain free hopefully!) xx

I'm so anxious just want a period even though since stopping injections last week I've been off work and in agony. Drugged up on codeine. Thank you for your help :-))) x

So sorry to hear you're feeling so poorly If you are starting to feel worse again that is usually how also how I feel when my periods start again so hopefully.. What's the recommendation re NSAID - anti-inflammatory pain killers - should be ok to take when you are trying for a baby? I need a combination of painkillers when my flare ups start again; naproxen+paracetamol+codein. Not nice to try for a baby when you're feeling like that.. ;-( When I'm really fed up with the pain I have 2 x glasses of wine - as well as all the painkillers! & I enjoy sex.. a bit easier ;-). Take care xx

PS with the naproxen (an NSAID like ibuprofen) I need to 'build up' even before the pain becomes bad and start/keep on taking them when I'm only in moderate or low pain. But if I have taken enough beforehand I might even enjoy 'a snuggle'

[DaisyL in reply to esbjorn]

Yes I take all three of those!! I havnet been able to drink since taking codeine but tonight I think for gods sale surly one glass won't harm. The pains so bad sex is out the window at minute. So nice to know I'm not alone x

[esbjorn in reply to DaisyL]

take care xx - sometimes a hot water bottle & an extra duvet are the only things I am hoping to share my bed with xx

[DaisyL in reply to esbjorn]

Hot water bottle is attached to me at the minute!! Thank you for the support x
