Title: Taking the pill
Post by: Tinkerbellj on December 23, 2016, 09:40:19 AM
So I have been prescribed zoely  nut jad a mad thought as the oestrogen is lower is there any reason why I can't take it ebert day and top up with oestrogen gel if I feel.low or is that crazy? 4 pumps of gel didn't override my own hormomes so not sure how the pill will work but I will try anything atm. anyone else tried the pill??

I was prescribed zoely for perimenopause. However, then gynea specialist asked to try out Tibolone half tablet. It is early for me to say if it is helping me.

I am taking tibilone half a tablet at the moment. bit early with 12 days. One dr had prescribed zoely telling me that is good to help out level out hormones. As gynae prescribed tibilone so i went with it. I was told it with take 6 to 8 weeks to show its effect. I will be seeing another gynae and women hormone specialist in Jan will seek his view about two of them and hopefully can do something about this low mood, anxiety. i will ask his view on pump or micro progestrone.
