I am on HRT but after recurring UTI’s (or so I thought) was prescribed Ovestin. I thought it was working but got a bit of stinging so got Estriol cream that I had maybe 5 years ago.
Then I had Covid almost 3 weeks ago and can’t remember how many nights of the loading dose I missed.
Anyway, so back on the Estriol cream but still weeing a fair bit at night and most of it ends up in the toilet, so I’m thinking not much is being absorbed?
Been a bit sore and weeing more the past couple of days so wondering if the Estriol isn’t being absorbed enough, so tonight as Ovestin is a lot less to ‘put in’ than Estriol I used Ovestin tonight hoping it will ‘stay in’.
The Estriol applicator has about a finger full of cream while the Ovestin applicator is 1 gram, like the tip of the finger to the first joint down if that makes sense.
I never had this problem of Estriol falling out when I go to the loo in the night 5 years ago so I’m guessing things inside are a bit, well, looser.
Does anyone else have problems with the creams falling out during night time toilet trips?
