Hi Andius. Thank you so much for your input. How very, very interesting! Clearly there have been some studies done about our problem.
Some ladies who have used oestrogen creams (as opposed to Vagifem) mention that they smear it all round the entrance of the vagina - which would make sense. I guess there would be no harm in trying to place the Vagifem pessary in the first 1/3 - 1/2 of the vagina - hopefully it would still stick well?
There is a post about the use of Vagifem on 'All things menopause' and I've been following that closely. Many are using double doses as they used to be on 25mg and the dose is now prescribed in 100mg doses.
My other thought would be to use Vagifem in the usual way and, alongside, add a little oestrogen cream smeared around our sore areas?
I am finding that after 2 weeks of the Vagifem, my vagina excretions seem to have improved - sorry to be graphic but I'm getting more natural lubrication and it's smelling like it used to when I was pre-meno. Still getting the burning but not as bad.
Clearly 100mg Vagifem isn't enough for many ladies so perhaps using a little extra oestrogen cream around the lower vagina area might do the trick? Your thoughts please club members.
