Spotting whilst on hormone treatment

My oncologist is aware, before any of you ask me to seek medical advice.  Had ultrasound and blood test today and I see oncologist on Monday (It’s my 3 monthly visit).

I started Zoladex in early January, but I’ve been getting intermittent spotting.  Has anyone experienced this too?

thanks

    Thanks - it’s been 6 months since I started Zoladex.

    @Chev just read this online.

    During early treatment with Zoladex some women may experience vaginal bleeding of variable duration and intensity. If vaginal bleeding occurs it is usually in the first month after starting treatment. Such bleeding probably represents oestrogen withdrawal bleeding and is expected to stop spontaneously.

    Hope it helps.
