Zoladex and tibolone

[Elbo1999999]

Hi,

I'm due to start zoladex injections to be topped up with tibolone to reduce symptoms agead of surgery to remove both ovaries and womb.

The doctor has told me that i can start at any time during my cycle , but ive heard you have to wait til day 1 of your period. My appt with the nurse is at week 3.

Is it ok to start then, or should i rearrange for day 1?

Any positive stories of zoladex and tibolone would be great x

Hey Elbo

I didn't read up anything before I started, lesson learnt from previous worried over nothing. I didn't ask the nurse anything and I was due to have a period in five days time. I had the injection and my period arrived ten days later then went on for 16days. It is different for every woman.

I wasn't allowed any HRT so it's been really tough with symptoms, I suffer with migraines with periods anyway so these have been unprodictable, hot flushes and insomnia. I havent found I suffer with mood swings although it has made me a bit low.

I had my first scan last week about a week after my second injection. There has been a reduction in size and my pain has improved. So I can only report on the zoladex and positive stuff from what I can gather from results.

Not a drug for the faint hearted though it's not easy.

Best of luck 🍀
