Zoladex? How long does...
it take to actually start working from the time you get the implant and the time it starts working on shutting down the ovaries? I did a search on this and can find lots of information on Zoladex itself...but not how long it takes before the implant starts working? (A couple days, a week, what?)
I had my estrodiol level checked the other day and I had NOT had my zoladex yet. Estrodiol was 34 the day of the blood test...but by the time I got an ok for the zoladex it was probably much higher. Once you get the implant...how long would it take to actually start shutting down the ovaries? Does anyone know? I looked every where and just can't find an answer to this. (Hopefully immediately.)
