Will i still ovulate within the first two weeks of getting a zoladex 3,6 injection since it takes three weeks to start working on the hormones?

1-3 weeks : Zolodex suppresses LH and FSH hormone from the Pituitary gland thus suppressing ovulation. This occurs 1-3 weeks after the injection. If you are concerned about avoiding pregnancy during that time consider avoiding intercourse or using a condom.
