The BMS says up to 3 times a week for Ovestin, 5 for Vagifem. However, in my opinion (non-medical of course) you could use whatever it takes to get comfortable!
I use Vagifem every night.

Use as necessary? It's about being comfortable.
After the initial insertion I put a small amount of product onto the applicator and wipe gently around the outer labia to keep them supple and less likely to itch.
If I get the need2pee symptoms, 2 Nurofen 3 times a day works.

Morning. We have 'bladder issues' and 'vaginal atrophy' threads to share experiences.
