Luprodex 3M 11.25mg Injection Health Feed

Report

My wife has two chocolate cysts in her right ovary. Out gynec had suggested an injection- Lupride Depot 3.75 for three months to reduce the size of cysts so that ovarian wall/tissues are not damaged during surgery to avoid infertility. My wife's latest period date is 19-Aug -2016 (yesterday). Her previous period date was 01-Aug-2016 and we applied the injection on 05-Aug-2016 (i.e. Within five days of period date). Her latest period has come early this time. I asked our gynec to order the second injection of Lupride Depot 3.75 today, but she said this injection cannot be taken so early, it has to be taken on 05-Sept-2016 (i.e. Same date as last month). Now we are confused if this injections needs to be taken within five days of period date or exactly once in a month (same date every month)?

Yes there are chances.
My suggestion is to avoid hormonal contraception. They are very harmful.
Use condoms.

Hi if the luprodex was given long back and he is already 12 years and the family is not interested to take further injections, it is okay to not continue. There are usually not any reported side effects to discontinuing it, the puberty usually starts to progress again once the injection is discontinued. Would be happy to answer any further queries.
