Help please

Been on femonston 2/10 for 7 years and it's been great - I am 52.  However recent scan/biopsy showed that my endometrial lining has significantly increased so now I have to go onto combined.  GP has put me on Femonston conti tablets (on the basis its the same prep)  plus vagifem 4xweek (after the 2 week intensive start) but it's awful.  Terrible mood swings, very upset most of the time/ depressed and on edge and really awful dryness - making sex very painful.  I had major problems with dryness years ago which was why I was placed on the 2/10.     Can anyone recommend a better preparation/combination - can't cope with this.
Thanks

Nairn, what are you using for the dryness? Systemic HRT won't necessarily resolve symptoms of VA. You could use a vaginal moisturiser as well as the Vagifem. Have you tried Yes VM?

Hi Joaniepat

Thanks - I have in the past for external symptoms ,  but this is internal and much worse towards the top - do you think Yes VM would help with that? The Femonston 2/10 kept everything under control and I can't go back to how things were before 2/10

Yes VM can be used internally, so it should help. They sell single use vials for getting it right into the vagina.  Personally, I prefer to put some into one of the round ended, syringe style applicators sold by Stressnomore, as I think you can get it higher up. Also, it is cheaper this way than buying the vials.

Thanks so much JP, I have just order the Yes OB as it seems to be the most moisturise and will try the trick with the srynge as well

'Ovestin' is delivered high into the vagina via applicator in a measured dose ;-)
