As the VA treatment begins to work there may be a discharge ;-) - what goes up etc..  I never have any as I insert at night ........

Keep up with the regime even when the area begins to feel better!!!

[CherrySG]

A good tip I saw on here for if the Ovestin is burning is to mix it in with a little Olive and Bee moisturiser. Maybe this would work as well with the Yes. Lots of women on here swear by Yes but it didn't do much for me. Maybe I had a duff batch.

Good luck 🤞

Yes never suited me.  I tried a bit on my arm first and my skin came up all red and a bit sore so it never got near my bits!

Well last night was the two week mark of ovestin every night. Now its every other night.

I think I am seeing an improvement. But it's slow and unreliable.

But some progress is better than none, so can't complain.

I have noticed that when at work and I'm walking around I have more burning, must be friction. So when that eases, that should be an indication that things are getting better x

If you find symptoms creeping back then go back to nightly.  If you wear a thong, ditch it 

[Joaniepat]

Yes, it can take quite a long time to get VA under control. Like CLKD says, go back to nightly if you need to, or just extend the loading period to three weeks, then try every other night. Re the walking around, I always found that to cause extra friction and discomfort and would need a top up of moisturiser. (Thong CLKD? Is that some kind of medieval torture device?  )

 .  I think that they are .......... they can cause all kinds of feminine hygiene problems  . give me a chastity belt any day ;-)

If inner labia feel dry add 'vaseline' or 'KY Jelly' B4 exercise then rinse on return.

Thanks for the advice. I think I will keep going for the tbree week period. Just convinced thst it has only just started working.

Know I've said it before and I will say it again, don't know what I would have done without this forum.

I tell you something else, I can really see Doctors being redundant in some form in the future. I've had to wait until 17 August to get a telephone appointment!!!!!

And I wasn't given great advice last time from my Doctor. Just to remind you, she told me to rub the cream in the outer vagina, so why ever does it come with an apllicator. Makes sense it has an applicator as its an internal medication. Thank goodness you set me right on tge forum, otgerwise i doubt I would be this far ahead.

Listen to your body, if it's sore continue every night for another 7-10 days. ;-)

[suzysunday]

It really takes perseverance.  At times in the past I thought I'd never feel ok down there.

[CherrySG]

It takes months, doesn't it? And in the meantime we develop all kinds of strategies to help 

[Chihuahuachick]

Well I've carried on and used the ovestin. Into my third week.

I think it was the right thing to do. I feel better for getting advice and giving it a third week.

It will be interesting to see how it goes today at work, that's when the burning starts to get worse, must be the friction from moving around.

[Chihuahuachick]

Well burning at work today.

Put some canesten on its ok now.

Just didsapointing.

[CLKD]

It does wax and wane initilally.  Not sure about 'caneston' though  .  Don't despair, put plenty up there tonight ''-)

[Chihuahuachick]

Thanks for the reply.

I do appreciate it x

Yes, I have plunged as I call it.

Hopefully tomorrow it will be better. Hopefully is a word that I use a lot regarding this symptom getting better x
