Timing first Zoladex injection

Hi there,

I had my first monthly Zoladex injection on day 7 of my cycle.
I wondered when others have had it and whether it has made a difference to how early they stopped bleeding.
According to my ovulation chart, I ovulated early this month and I guess this means I could have an early period, so if the next injection is done exactly on time, 28 days after the first one, it will land almost midcycle.
This seems a bit of a waste, since Zoladex is intended to shut down the ovaries.

Can anyone share their experience of the timing of Zoladex monthly injections and bleeding patterns?

Hi,

I had one period after my first Zoladex injection, but haven’t had anymore. I’ve had 4 injections so far.

I can’t remember where I was in my cycle when I had first one, had one period after then that was it. Initially had injections monthly but now on three monthly and have been on them since October 2005.
