Title: Elleste duet & vagifem
Post by: Jube on February 15, 2017, 07:43:07 AM

I take elleste duet 1 mg. I feel quite good generally but sometimes feel but sore/uncomfortable 'down below'. I have some vagifem that was prescribed over a year ago but didn't use as didn't need it after going on hrt. Is it ok to use both or should I speak to doctor ?

Absolutely - it is recognised that some women need both. I am one of them. When I first started HRT I stopped the local oestrogen but later needed it again and have been on it/both ever since.

I need the LOT even then still have off days.

Seriously considering The Mona Lisa Touch as per my gyneas mad mine conclusion, she said it is working amazingly for VA.

Yes you can.

I started with systemic then needed vagifem and just yesterday was given Ovestin as well so now I have the full hit. Oh the joys of menopause I obviously didn't read the menopause letter correctly and forgot to put a tick in the opt out box !!!!!!!!

Love lanzalover x
