I was put on it for bladder issues. UTI feeling without a uti (urine tests). I did 2 week load and it stopped bladder problems (I think it was that, or coincidence). When I dropped to twice per week, bladder issues came back in 48 hrs of stopping daily use.
I was advised to use it alternating days or daily if that doesn’t control it. I did alternate days and it worked I think for a month or so then returned. I went on daily again and it worked. After a month, I dropped to alternate days and was fine for a while.
Then after a few months I dropped to 3 times per week. All seemed ok for around 6 weeks, then bang!! It came back. I immediately went on daily and since then it has never helped my bladder problems. That was 4 months ago. Still today I’m suffering. After going on the daily usage I started with horrendous external burning. Like chemical burn. Stinging, itching, so bad I can’t sit. So after trying ovestin too nightly I’ve had enough and stopped the vagifem for 4 days so far. My bladder is horrible anyway no matter what I do. The external burning has subsided about 50%. I’m still using a bit of ovestin nightly externally.
To make matters worse now my butt is stinging. Honestly does it ever end!
