Its perfectly safe to use vagifem daily, two a week is a useless dose for a lot of women, GP's have an awful habit of messing us around.

I was told by my gynae GP to use Vagifem daily as twice a week wasn't working and to use Ovestin topically.
I also use a moisturiser which I think is very important and after nearly three years I am back to normal down below after being at the most chronic stage of vaginal atrophy.

Yes. I am 74 and use local oestrogen every night. My routine is Vagifem for three nights running, then Ovestin externally on the fourth night. Either Epaderm or Olive & Bee as moisturiser as necessary. This regime is what works for me and I could not manage with less. We have to find our own way with GSM and stick to what suits.
