I was on Zoladex 5 years ago for 6 months, following my Lap. Side effects were: hot flushes, forgetfulness (post-it notes were sooo helpful :-) ), mood swings. Then I went onto the pill straight away. Prior to Zoladex & the pill I never put on weight and could eat anything and do no excercise. Since then I have to be more careful and have gained 15kg. I'm not sure if that's the Zoladex or the Pill though. We started TTC 11 months ago and haven't been successful yet, but I think that's more becuase of my very irregualr cycles than anything Zoladex did. Also, my endo hasn't returned (that I know of) and my tubes are clear, so for me Zoladex was useful and the side effects weren't so bad.
My doctor warned me about not getting pregnant on it too, and I think she said it was best to wait for 3 - 6 months after to make sure it was out of my system, but it was a while ago so that's a little hazy.
