Anyone using this successfully? I know I asked a while ago now, but I think it's in wider circulation now. Any reviews from personal experience most welcome! 👍

[Postmeno3]

Anyone?? 🤔

[JaneMarie]

Hi, i'm new here and found you so hopefully other members will. Any specifics on personal experience?

[Postmeno3]

Thanks for finding this. I'm just interested to know how folk chose Intrarosa or especially if it was chosen for them by a specialist and why. I'm interested to know the DHEA impact and how/if it works better for some than, say, Vagifem or Ovestin, despite not being topical oestrogen? 🤞

Hi postmeno:  there has been a few older threads on Intrarosa.  Some find it great and others not so much.  I believe there is a few ladies on here who have tried recently.  Like you, I'm interested in the reviews.

[Whatsupwiththis]

I googled for recent reviews.  Not very encouraging😔

I did a Google for you and it seemed 50/50.  So looks like it’s very individual, so perhaps all you can do is give it a trial? x

[Postmeno3]

Thank you, ladies. I was hoping to hear from anyone who has it currently in their regime, but maybe they are in a tiny minority. I'll keep hoping! 🤞

I think it might not have a large uptake due to the cost to the nhs, so doctors won’t be promoting it

Oh, WHY does everything boil down to money, Marchlove?! I bet Intrarosa would be prescribed privately in a heartbeat, too! Sigh!

[Marchlove]

I know it’s a disgrace!!

Saying that though it is licensed and if you’re having trouble with Vagifem or even if you just say you are, I should think they’ll let you trial it.

You never know with these things if they’re going to work unless you give it a go and although half the reviews on Google were negative the others raved about it!

[Postmeno3]

Yeah, so many variables in reviewing as opposed to experience. We tend not to know or understand the whole journey in a review, the context? Intrarosa is not topical oestrogen so would have a different profile to, say, Vagifem and it's that that interests me. Not sure I have capacity for much more experimentation though! 😂

Hi, I just started on it this week after a few years on Vagifem and Ovestin.
So far its fine. I had sone initial burning internally the first 2 nights but nothing since. There is some very slight oily leakage but nothing major and if youre used to using Yes VM/OB its no worse.
Only thing Im slightly worried about is that Ive got some urethral irritation on the go. I think Vagifem is better for bladder symptoms. But - i just couldnt go on anymore. Could no longer sit on chairs at all anymore so have had to switch to Intrarosa and see.
Im thinking of maybe using Vagifem twice a week inbetween Intrarosa. Will wait a bit longer to see how it goes.
