Hi, me again.
I'm a week and a half into the loading dose of estriol cream and it seems to be working.
For the last two days I've noticed a brown jelly like discharge when I wipe, after a wee.
Is this normal?
I'm also on a patch and a half of evorel conti, with no previous issues.
Had a TV scan last september and all OK.
Have been referred to gyny for suspected polyp but will be a while yet.
Probably should contact GP.
Thanks all

I had a polyp which bled on contact, gynea wanted to remove it but I refused intervention. It shrunk on peri ;-)
Brown stain is old blood so it may be attributed to the Evorel. How long have u been using the patches?
It may also be because the vaginal walls are thin and when U wipe it aggravates the dryness. How often are U inserting the estriol?

If you have a suspected polyp its more than likely that causing the discharge.

Been on evorel for almost 3 years.
I'm doing every night for up to 4 weeks

Probably, but seems odd to have started when I've just started the estriol.
Noticed a pale pink spot on paper just now too

It's probably staining from a very thin vaginal lining. How worried R U?

Where is the polyp ? The Estriol applicator is quite large if you are using that each night for 4 weeks.
Could you apply gently using a clean finger to get it up there.

Not overly. It seems very coincidental that it happened when I started the estriol.
Will get gp app to be safe
