Tibolone

[user1498033567]

Can anyone tell me how long it takes for Tibolone to work? Have been on it now for over two weeks and really cannot see/feel any difference yet, except that I have put on another pound on top of the stone I have already gained, since going into the hell that is the menopause. The anxiety, lack of confidence, lack of energy and lets not forget the weight gain, the list is actually endless. Not sure how much more of this I can take. Help!

all HRT should be taken for 3 months to see if it's working. Too soon so far!
why Tibolone? It's not mainstream HRT and is usually given to women who can't use other types- have a google :)

Thank you. I will just have to suck it up and hope that this works for me. The only thing I've noticed so far is that I've put on another pound in weight and that sure isn't from what I've been eating. Tried other mainstream HRT and did not react well with me.

Why Tibolone? It's not HRT as such- it's a synthetic steroid that mimics hormones. Have you tried transdermal oestrogen gel and micronised progesterone on a cyclic basis- 10 days progesterone each month? If you used conti HRT before that may account for the weight gain as some women find the synthetic progestogens in it cause bloating .
