Im doing the same though last time I used it alternate nights and estriol daily i had breast pain then a small bleed and the GP insisted I stop for 6 weeeks. I agreed to 4 in the end and had a scan and hysteroscopy so Im very anxious about now using nightly but I feel I need it. When I had the flare up I started using estriol mixed with moisturiser in the mornings too. I need to cut back to once a day but nightly vagifem and twice daily estriol is just about stopping anymore deterioration and shrinkage.

Do yourself a favour!

Go back to your GP and tell him/her to read this:

And then, ask for Estring, and systemic HRT!

After it works, you will not need anything down there.

Good as new!

Do it

One of the doctors I see was trying to insist I slow from daily Ovestin use.  She said it is about time I used it only twice per week.  So, I have told her I am having a dose every second night just for some peace.  I have actually slowed to a half dose nightly, but it suits me, and my symptoms are minor so I just can't shift from a nightly dose at this stage.

Your doctor is totally out of date, awful to have to say that when she should know better. Use as much as needed to relieve your symptoms and to stop you from getting to the chronic stage of this disgusting condition. When you feel you can reduce your dose then so be it.

My treatment is daily, Vagifem and Estriol cream, with the blessing of a gynaecologist and my now new surgery who have been amazing and so up to date on topical HRT.
