« on: January 29, 2020, 09:00:59 AM »

I've just bern prescribed Livial, I realise there are previous threads in the topic but just wanted input from more recent experiences. Can you take this product long term or is it justforr short term use?

I have been on Tibolone but did nothing for me after 6 months so came off it and was prescribed Testosterone instead. Yes you can take it longer term.

hi jaycee

did they give u any outcome of the biopsy ? i had blood test for lupus and zinc plus A n A bloods which look for auto immune but all negative x

my hairloss i?m sure is caused by hrt because i stop for 9 weeks and after 6 weeks it stopped shedding but i am back on it now trying with progesterone x
the only thing i found is i?m a little dryer down there x

I took tibolone for 18 months and found it good for libido, hot flushes but made me feel achy. However I stopped it because it caused womb lining thickening and bleeding, not good at age 60.  I just take ovestin now.   I don't think 60 is an ideal age to start hrt so it may be different if you are younger.  It is known for causing thickening I think.

Hi Jaycee,. I thought it did encourage lining thickening.  I was bleeding for about 2 weeks and it stopped within 24 hours of stopping tibolone, and lining reduced after a while.  I forgot, I got horrendous acne with tibolone, very glamorous at age 60!
