A lot of GPs seem to overlook tibolone.
It's a type of HRT specifically for women who do not tolerate progesterone, from your post I'd guess that includes you.
I had a hard time with progesterone all my life. My husband had the snip because I couldn't tolerate any pill or mini pill.
I spoke to my GP a year post meno and asked what could I have instead of HRT.
She was clueless, put me on HRT, it was a disaster, I stopped after far too long of trying.
It was months before the pharmacist suggested tibolone.
Long story short tibolone is a great mood booster and HRT replacement in general. It is hormone based, and prescription only as an HRT, but it's not the actual hormones, your body makes the hormones itself out of tibolone and that means there is no bad reaction to the man made stuff.
I go completely crazy on progesterone pills, I have no bad side effects at all from tibolone, so I'd suggest it to anyone with progesterone intolerance.
Like all HRTs it is only actually licensed for post menopausal women, if you're peri they'll usually give out HRT anyway and tibolone has instructions for women who may get pregnant on the leaflet inside it, so in practice it's used in peri women too.
