Hi Bombsh3ll this is one for you my Dear...is the estradiol in Zoely quite high in comparison to the likes of Yasmin? Or is it a low dose type one.
Just took my second one (day 2 of it) but befire this I was getting really tired cos I drink quite a bit of caffeine in the morning I usually get whats called caffeine crash around 1pm- 3pm somewhere round there....then St 3pm I took zoely znx my eyes were dropping ...I thought oh God I can't tell now if this the caffeibe or the zoely ....I hope it's nit Zoeky giving me tiredness.
Only way I could experiment would be to have ny caffeine and wake up in hhe morning...once I know I feel awake (cos I do suffer fatigue ) il pop the zoely ....see if it brings on the fatigue or tiredness... .what you think ? Hope u reply my lovely xxxx

Zoely is a lower dose of estrogen than Yasmin.
It is the same estradiol as your body makes.
I take it first thing. It shouldn't have any bearing either positive or negative on fatigue.
The only reason I take it in the morning is if I forget, I can take it later without mucking up the days of the week on the pack 😁
