Firstly -  :bighug:

1 can use 'vagifem' or 'ovestin' every night if necessary. It's a small amount of active ingredient, after the initial 2/3 week loading, every 3rd and 6/7th nights are fine unless 1 requires a top up.  Sometimes I require an extra dose of 'ovestin' mid afternoon as well as evening .  When I get the need2P feelings, I take 'nurofen' to ease that nip.

You can use it every night if you need to, but it is only licensed to be used twice a week. However doctors give loads of things off-licence and you just need to find one which knows it's okay to give more frequently if you need that...
