I’ve been taking Vagifem for 4 years and started just before I remarried at the age of 63.
I had not had sex for many years and had become very dry.
It was like a new lease of life and lovemaking has been the best ever! With some help from the Yes products I have been able to enjoy lovemaking several times a week.
Sadly, I am having problems at the moment with pain during intercourse. I have tried using the moisturiser more frequently but so far it hasn’t made any difference. We had a break from lovemaking and have just tried again but still the same. It’s only a slight pulling inside but very sharp and uncomfortable. I already use the vagifem 3 times a week so wondering what to do. I have read lots of stories on here and have just sent for some Sylk to try. I also have difficulty doing a wee at night and wondered if this is connected? Many thanks 😄

It maybe worth asking your doctor for a referral to a woman's health physio. I had an appointment and it was really helpful and helped me to sort out some of my issues.

How often are you inserting the 'vagifem', sometimes we need to do a reload i.e. 2-3 weeks of every night. I have a sore spot slightly inside the vagina which nips even when using 'ovestin'. R U due a smear test soon?
