Hi Foxy01, welcome to the forum. I would ask to try Vagifem first. You will need use it for 14 consecutive nights to start with, and then you can drop down to 2 or 3 per week depending on how well your symptoms are controlled. The dosage in these pessaries is 10 mcg estradiol, much lower than the old version which was 25 mcg. Thus, many women need more than 2 a week. Also use a vaginal moisturiser such as Sylk or one of the Yes products. These are easiest to buy online, but are sometimes available from the GP. Organic coconut oil is also good as a moisturiser. If necessary you can ask your GP for Ovestin to use on the labia. Some women use Vagifem internally and Ovestin externally, it depends what suits and is all trial and error. Neither product should have any impact on the fibroid as it is such a low dose and there is no systemic absorption once the tissues have plumped up.
I am sure more members will be along with more advice. It is, unfortunately, such a common problem. There are plenty of threads on the forum, so have a good browse round.
Best wishes,
