Every 3 months. Injection in my bum. Makes me feel rubbish for the first week, but after that I feel brillaint. I have found that this treatment seems to affect my mood quite a bit in the first few days after the injection.

I found zoladex implants to be excellent as they stopped your periods but i was told that you can only have 6 months treatment and no more even though i found zoladex to work for me, which is annoying and upseting, when you know the product works and you can't have it.
Working / Worked
I have had a 6 month course and its been fantastic, pain free.... until 2 weeks after the 6th injection ran out the pain had came back. My hospital appointment is in May so doctors decided to give me a 7th injection to keep me going but unfortunately I got it a week ago and its not taking effect.
As for side effects all I got was the mood swings. No hot flushes or anything.
Working / Worked
This did what it was set out to do ie stop my periods so no more endo gre whilst waiting for lap & dye. The HRT made me develop a blood clot in my left calf! Did not have very bade side effects whilst on HRT but had one month without and just had a few hot flushes - nothing too bad.
