  • changes can be scary, even when we want them

It is Face2Face this Friday ?  Then make a list to take with you and ask for advice directly if necessary push for a consultants appt..

When I go to the surgery I can get an appt within 2 weeks unless my problem is urgent.  U may find that the Nurse is better than speaking to a receptionist because they are bound to protocol  ::)

I know at our private hospital you can pay for consultation in installments. It's ridiculous isn't it that you can't get help

There seems to be more and more ladies on here getting very similar symptoms, me included, when using local oestrogen.
I saw a GP last year about it and had the CA125 blood test, coeliac tests and a FIT as well.
All tests came back negative - I knew in the back of my mind that all would be ok but it didn't stop me freaking out while waiting for results. So sending big hugs.

Anyway, I persevered with the vagifem and ovestin hoping things would settle down. No luck, and about 6 weeks ago I stopped using both. Bloating, aching, discharge reduced dramatically. So much so that for a few days, I forgot all about it. My va symptoms are now returning but I have a GP appointment at the end of the month and am going to ask for Intrarosa to try.

As Lesred says - you are NOT alone and we WILL get through this with each others support.

I just read your post and am so relieved to find others getting bloating, pain and discharge from ovestin. All my same symptoms have worsened since starting using it for VA symptoms 4 days ago. But now, on top of that, my health anxiety is off the chart.
I’m going to see GP and ask for an examination though.
