Title: Tibolone
Post by: renee on October 02, 2017, 08:19:38 PM
I wondered if anyone knew if I need to take Tibolone tabs as directed on the blister pack. I usually start on a particular day...i.e. a Monday and continue throughout the month. This time Iv somehow mixed up the days etc and started bleeding, feeling a bit low and irritable.

Iv been on them 5 months. Initially I bled for the first 7 weeks then stopped.

The tabs are all white and start monday, tue etc etc.

Thanks for any advice x

No, to the best of my knowledge they are all the same, and you just take one a day from anywhere in the pack. I have other (non-HRT) meds packaged with days of the week on them, for no apparent reason.

From what I remember there's no difference from any day.  Think they just put days on them for our convenience so we know when we've taken them

Phew..thanks ladies!! I was worried I had possibly mixed up my oestrogen ones with progesterone.

I have one more pack left then Im due for a review of them.....not sure why Im bleeding again as its a HRT for post menopausal women. 😟

It's worth mentioning the bleed to dr but I have read bleeding in early weeks can happen
