Hi Elaine After my first shot I had a decrease in pain for about a week, then had a 'period' that was almost the worst ever; then endo pain steadily got worse until mu second shot. My obgyn told me that was normal. After the second shot, I had a pain decrease that lasted about 2 weeks and a bit, and then had endo pain returning but not anywhere as bad as before. Have you had any decrease at all from the first one? I know I was very discouraged the first month, the pain was horrendous; my doc and everyone here kept telling me that it takes two to three shots before it really starts to work. I can tell you the second month was a LOT better than the first, and I'm hoping that this the third month will be even better. But even if this month is the same as last month, it will still be tonnes better than before!! I'll keep my fingers crossed that you will experience a significant pain decrease with your next shot. Feel free to email me any time if you want to talk further about this. Have a good night, luv, Amy
