The 25's were discontinued in the USA because they found there was no extra benefit.. I'm sure someone somewhere found this out but it does make you wonder how they get to this conclusion! It looks like the UK are following suit. In fairness to my GP (and I'm not defending her), I was the one who brought the estring up because she had mentioned it on a previous visit. I'm assuming that because Vagifem is still not licenced for longer than 3 months, she probably feels happier to dispense estring.. just a guess!! Regardless of anything, I would be in a right mess now if my GP hadn't prescribed Vagifem to start with. My previous GP refused point blank to give me anything containing HRT.
I've been weeing a bit more this past week - nothing like it was before - so I have wondered if my constant urination might come back.. dreadful thought. I told her I wasn't keen on the estring because I've always had trouble inserting stuff
I could never use tampons and really struggled with the cap! I got it stuck once
I thought I had to insert the ring myself but she explained that it can be done by a GP and will be totally unnoticeable by the user. I'm not opposed to it at all at the moment but as long as vagifem 10's work OK I'd rather stick with that. I thought I had to use 2 a week the same.. is it definitely more? I haven't got the prescription as it is dispensed from the chemist at the surgery and they didn't have it in stock so I'm not sure what GP has prescribed. Anyway, I still have 6 weeks of the 25's left so I'm going to use them up first!!
