Hi Beaubelle and big welcome to you.
I'm 60 and recently restarted hrt after a 5 year absence due to gp stopping it.big mistake I shouldn't have listened to him.
Vagifem us excellent I've been using it around a month now it's an individually wrapped applicator with a small tablet in it to use then dump,no washing etc much better and not as messy as cream.
I'm also on 2 pumps of Oestrogel daily it's transdermal so kinder with less risks and easy to use I found I was getting dips with the patches so ok for two days then not feeling so good till I put new patch on so obviously wasn't getting a consistent supply that's why I changed to the gel method.
Libido has been gone for a few years now but there's more than one way to skin a cat lol.im hoping the Oestrogel may help eventually as it's early days yet,in my case the fear of pain or tearing doesn't help.
They're will be other ladies more knowledgeable than me will come along and give you great advice so just be patient and keep posting and enjoying.good luck you have a very good gp lucky you treasure her lol.xx
