Zoladex - but still having periods

Hello,

More from me and my Zoladex worries.

I had the first Zoladex injection just over 2 weeks ago on Friday 23 September. Today I got my period again, 3 weeks to the day after the start of my last period.

Does anyone else have experience of this? Does it mean that I am resistant to the Zoladex, or just that it is a gradual process of the ovaries shutting down and that I won’t get another period? I thought it was pretty immediate. But I haven’t had any obvious side effects so far from the Zoladex and now have my period.

I have also started taking Femara but am worried about what this will do if I am not actually menopausal - does anyone know more about this?

I’ll probably speak to my BCN next week but would welcome hearing your experiences,

Hi claire,

I had my period after had my first zoladex, then it’s gone after that. Apparently this is quite normal. It should stop after your 2nd one.
