I concur with all the other comments here that using Vagifem twice or three times a week probably won't cut it if you've had that kind of bladder issue.

I regularly use it every other day with occasional (every few months) top ups where I use it every day for a couple of weeks.

I will use the pessary everyday for two weeks. ( I have a week to go).
Then use every other day and see how it goes...

Now my blood pressure is high 150/90 at the docs.

I have a machine at home but I think it might be faulty reading 175/100 ish most of the time...

I have to give my readings to the doc this week ..

But on the plus side I am feeling more positive and not afraid I'm going to wee myself when I go out....

Thanks for all your comments and suggestions and support...

I have used three machines. My own my mum's and my neighbours....

All read different..

I have read they are very unreliable....

I test about 7am and 7pm.

I may have said already, I'm dead on DH's machine  .  It also depends on what and when we eat, how much exercise we have done .......

[Jo1968]

Yes..

I am supposed to be relaxed and chilled...

.......and breath.  This too will pass.  In the 1990s I believed that I would never leave the house  .  With appropriate medication and time, I'm out and about most days. 

If you don't get a regular reading then mayB avoid BP machines.  The simple fact of using one may well up the anti

VA needs treating for life so you will have to use it forever. I personally would not reduce it to every other day this soon. I find VA takes a while to treat.
