Hi all, not been on for a while due to sad family circumstances...
However, have noticed that vagifem seems to have stopped working after about a year? When I first started using it, it was like a miracle...plumped everything up and even made me feel a bit frisky again! I am using 10mcg twice a week. Recently however, I have noticed I am very dry below (no bleeding, tears or pain) and hubby is having problems ....says it feels dry, and flatter and thinner inside.
Can I up the dose myself? When I was at my sisters house for a month, after her disappearance I did remember to take it with me, but probably missed a few doses...could I have messed it all up, and need to start a two week ' boost' again?
Also, I have heard vitamin e suppositories/pessaries are good...any one any experience of these?
Many thanks for advice in advance...

Sorry to hear about your family circumstances...
Of course you can increase the dose yourself- just go back to the 14 day regime.
I don't think there is any one regime that suits everyone.
