Title: vagifem and sex
Post by: sophieJ on January 05, 2019, 02:56:54 PM

Hi All, I hope someone can help. I'm in a wonderful new relationship after my marriage broke down a year ago. At 55 I've just started using vagifem and I am on day 3 of the initial daily dose for 14 days. . My question is how do you time inserting a pessary and sex? Last night I was sure the boyf was not up for it but he was and I had just put the pessary in. As we hadn't seen each other for nearly 3 weeks I didn't feel I could stop to explain! I told him straight after and advised him to have a good wash! Any advise please as to whether the boyf will have absorbed any estrogen and also how do you generally time your doses with any possible activity?  :-* :-* :-*

I insert mine each morning.  If there's morning sex I put it in after x

I put mine in at night as I have become a weekend morning type of person, three teens who are up late put me off,  but they sleep in at weekends so that has become our time ;)
You can use Vagifem at anytime, unlike Ovestin so you easily change the timing.
