i have just completed a 3 month treatment of prostap (leuprorelin), having an injection every 4 weeks. I was just wondering if anyone can advise me how long after treatment ends that people's periods have restarted? I'm newly married and desperate to try for a baby, knowing it may not be easy just makes me more desperate!!
Any comments would be much appreciated xx

I'm wondering whether anyone can share their experience of their periods after removal of Mirena.

I was under the impression that they settled down immediately.

I had my mirena out a week last Thursday, and had a bit of spotting that afternoon, but started bleeding properly on the Saturday. Bled for about 5 days. Hubby and I are ttc and because we've struggled in the past, I started charting this month.

Not sure how diabetics get on with it but its sad you cant go back on Zoldex if its better for you and you would like to.
I hope you get on ok with Prostrap I didt like the side effects so having my mirena changed to see if that will help with my pain. Have you tried the Mirena at all I know not all women get on so well with it.
Take care and best wishes
