Title: The journey continues. ....
Post by: Tinkerbellj on May 19, 2016, 09:51:17 AM
Ok so 19 days into the oestrogen gel. I am being very naughty in that I am not starting the progesterone yet ciz I have an important event on the 27th that I  am really lookong forward to and I really dont want to be coping with side effects or a period so will start next month on day 15. I think it is workong with physical symptons. Lot more how shall I put it eh moist down below but still no change in mood or anxiety and still absolutely no libido.  Temper not great either. And now after 19 months a locum doc has agreed that I have pnd and I started setraline last fri. Cant cope with 50mg so cut in half to build up slowly. Trying to keep positive but this is soooo hard. Just wanted to post an update for all the lovely ladies who helped with advice and hugs and to send some back your way xxx

Reduced libido is listed as a common side effect of sertraline so don't necessarily expect any improvement in that department! Hope it helps re your mood etc :)
