Same here it was only when they started to want to go invasive that I woke up and said no enoughs enough I knew it wasn't Uti infections and the bleeding was coming from the cuts and sores I'd helped create by scratching caused by the side effects of so many antibiotics mainly thrush infections,once I got that under control and started the healing process then I could work out myself that it was va and then that got me thinking again menopause then that brought me here and that's when thanks to all these kind people relaying their experiences and advice things clicked for me.an email to dr currie gave me the courage to move in the right direction too.please do try the vagifem you've nothing to lose you can always go back to the other stuff if no success but it's worth trying,good luck and hope next week is a new beginning for you keep strong you know what I mean xx
