Whilst I continue my battle to get Intrarosa, :-X my doctor has given me some Ovestin cream to apply twice weekly. Will this be enough for VA, at the moment sex us so painful I want to cry? :'( X

Hi Sammie, give it time for your Estrogel to leave your body. It can take upto 4 months the meno specialist told me.

Anaise...Do a daily two week load, then find a maintenance dose that suits you, personally i never managed on the 2/3 week regime. I started with Ovestin but changed over to Vagifem which i prefer, sex was literally a pain for me but not anymore ;)

Anaise, the biological half-life of tropical estradiol is appr. 36.5 hours, the time it takes before it's exceted from your body. I think your specialist means the time it takes for your hormones to balance out.
