Is it best to give the estriol a miss during the withdrawal bleed?

[Hurdity]

When I have my bleed I get very dry especially using tampons so I squirt the estriol on the end of the tampon whenever I change it - keeps everything lubricated and ensures I still get some local oestrogen. The rest of the time I use Vagifem. If you've got Gynest Ovestin maybe be a bit less liberal on the tampon as it is 10 x as strong as the estriol!

Just to avoid any confusion, Hurdity, you mean Ovestin and not 'Gynest', don't you!   

[Hurdity]

Ooh yes thanks Jenna I do mean Ovestin. How on earth did I type Gynest as Ovestin was in my head! Well spotted!! I will edit too.... (Gynest was what the 0.1% 0.01% estriol used to be called.... dohh!)

Hi hurdity,

Just to avoid any further confusion, you mean Gynest was what the 0.01% estriol used to be called...

Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks bear.
My brain is mush!

Yes of course - in fact I had 0.1 % in my head and thought no - I always initially post it wrong so switched to the 0.01 %. I will amend that one now ( this is getting silly). I think I should delete all my posts on this thread!!!

Note to self - stop posting in such a hurry!! Busy busy

shropshirelass - big apologies for being so useless in my replies! Hope you've got the drift though!

Hi Hurdity,
Thanks, I guessed what you meant! It's estriol 0.01% I have. So do you it would be ok to carry on with the applications, I don't use tampons?

[Hurdity]

As far as I know shropshirelass there is no reason why you cannot carry on. The only thing is that it may not stay in place for quite as long - depending on your bleed - as it could be "sluiced" out hence blobbing it on the end of tampons to keep it in place. Surely some is better than none though?

Good luck
