Hello 

I am 44, I had my ovarios removed 2 months ago,  I am in tibolone.  I am getting headaches and lighthead are this  side effects ?   Because  I read  that if you get headaches is a warning that you get a stroke?   

I don’t know If a estriol alone has less side effects ,   ???

Thanks for your help

    Hi I started on this 2 weeks ago to try to rectify a non existent libido ( hence cardboard cut out woman) 

    It seemed to be having a slight beneficial affect but then after 2 weeks my flushes started again at night and half an hour after taking it I was very lightheaded and felt very ill with an enormous headache 

    I took it for one more day but again half an hour after taking it I felt the same dizziness 

    If anyone out there can suggest a good h r t for libido I would be grateful to know as it’s ruining my relationship as I’ve been like this for 3 years 

    I still have ovaries and all the rest of it but am willing to remove it all if that would help 

    I’m fairly desperate now having taken about 7 different types . 

    I’m 56 but feel about 80 most days 

    Sorry to moan on . I wouldn’t have posted my own question but I couldn’t not respond to Ana as I’d had the same symptoms and would not have wanted her to think that it had only happened to her 

    Thank you ladies

      Thank you  for your answer, it has been very helpful that I am no only one having headaches, I’m thinking to try estradiol,

      With tibolone I  still have hot flashes during the night.

      Thank you
