I use Vagifem daily now and also use Ovestin cream every night. I also use YES moistorisor and lubricant in the 5ml applicators. Sometimes the Ovestin cream can sting so I put Bepanthen on as well. If I have a bad flare up I have steroid cream to help but I haven't had to use this for over a year now. Drink plenty of water, dehydration makes it worse.  I don't use soap just Cetraben and wash my underwear on 60° wash then tumble dry as I can't use soap powder.  Full Hrt didn't make much difference and I had no other symptoms so wasn't worth staying on it for the VA. I work full time sitting at a desk job so that don't help but I'm managing now to lead a normal life and hopefully once I retire and not sitting all day it  will be even better.

Thanks for that.  It's a hard condition to live with and getting the medication right.

Yes your right there, it doesn't take much to upset things even when you're doing everything right. I find the worse thing to start a blip is stress.

[suzysunday]

Yes and a biopsy is major stress!

I've had that done years ago when I had a last fling period after 18 months of nothing. It takes about 5 minutes and feels a bit like period pains, don't worry.
