Oh I do, I do Daisydot! Spare everything is my motto! My anxiety at the moment is that I don't have a spare Estring! I was given a blank look when I mentioned the Estring last time I was at the surgery, but at least I found out who does all their wimmin's stuff. I've made an appointment with her but it's not for a couple of weeks. It will be interesting to road test this lady, and I live in hopes she knows at least as much as I do  ::)

Anyway, I hope you get your Estring today and get on well with it. I've found it less irritating than daily Vagifem and better for bladder issues, so if you have been OK with Vagifem you should find it suits.

I know by how everything feels down there. Once the irritation starts coming back it's time to change. I don't manage to get to 3 months before it runs out but my VA was untreated for years so I'm hoping that estring will last longer as things get healthier down there.

Do you get a full 3 months out of it joaniepat?

I imagine the dryer we are down there the quicker the oestrogen will be absorbed. I do have super absorbent skin. I know from using moisturisers and my hairdresser always comments on how my skin soaks up hair dye so much more than their other clients. It's not a good look  :-\

I'm going to be looking out for women with handbags now. Actually what a good disguise I might give that a whirl myself when that itch strikes.

Hope you manage to get it soon I'm awaiting deliveries too. Pain in the neck but preferable to shopping

This is my first Estring so don't really know what to expect regarding it running out. Hopefully I'll be able to get it changed before the 90 day mark which will be 3 July. How much mileage do you get out of yours Robin? I'm still inclined to feel quite fragile around the vagina entrance in spite of Estring and daily external Ovestin, plus 3 pumps Oestrogel. You can only throw so much oestrogen at it, so I might go for the MLT. Anyway, due at the menopause clinic tomorrow so will see what happens next.

Best of luck with it Daisydot!

7-10 weeks but early days still I'm hoping that it will eventually last longer. My skin is still very very thin at the entrance and around my back passage too. Probably because my VA was untreated for so long even though I was asking for oestrogen. If I could tolerate the cream externally in conjunction with the estring then I would but it causes me too many problems.

Good luck with tomorrow's appointment
Keep us posted

Will do thanks. That's one I haven't tried. I wish there was something nonirritating that contained oestrogen for external use. I'm beginning to think we should go into production of all these products we can't get our hands on ourselves. We could have great fun with the names  ;D
