Title: Does anyone take Tibolone and use some transdermal oestrogen too?
Post by: Pollyanna on July 21, 2017, 08:02:29 PM
I've just read that Dr Currie says Tibolone produces only a slight oestrogenic effect.   

As it's probably going to be at least a few weeks until I'm able to see someone, I wondered if it would be okay to use half a low patch of oestrogen.  I am without uterus and so no risk of endometrial thickening. 

Has anyone tried this? 

The good thing of course is that I am carrying less fluid, and for the first time in as long as I can remember, my muscle tone is better too.

I think you could, and I'm sure I've read a member on here did.  A member definitely added testosterone to Tibolone from here

Yes Annie I remember too - I'm sure there was a member who added oestrogen to Tibolone under gynae supervision - or at least asked about it - but it is only advisable if you have no uterus otherwise there could be thickening of the uterus lining.

Absolutely.  As per my post.  No uterus so, no chance of thickening.   :)

Probably best to check with your gynae - wish I could remember who it was asking about it.....
