Hi misskh
Yes it was Gynest cream. It was discontinued and re-introduced as generic estriol cream at the same concentration - so you can still get it, as well as Ovestin which uses a smaller amount as it is more concentrated. If you would prefer to use a cream then you can ask your doc to change back? Some women have Vagifem and estriol/Ovestin (like me) - using the Vagifem internally and the cream on outer areas. Yes you really need to keep using it regularly and even then twice a week may be insufficient. Yes good idea to do a 7 day re-load. Some women on here use moisturisers as well on days they don't use Vagifem - (Sylk, Yes, Replens, Hyalofemme)- but I've never used these - there are lots of posts where they are mentioned. Topical oestrogen is needed for ever otherwise as you have found, VA returns - but sadly not all GPs are aware of this.
