Blissel is just a weaker version of Ovestin - so you probably get through more of it. But Ovestin is hard to get hold of at the moment for some reason...
I'm having a flare up too at the moment. I think because I've reduced my systemic estrogen down to 25mcg patch a week ago - and my vagina doesn't like this (even if the rest of me likes it better)
I get this glue-like discharge, yellow-y. It's gross. I had it before I started any HRT (including local estrogen) back in March. I was tested for thrush and BV twice - negative - and I actually treated for thrush with Caneston twice before those tests anyways. My GP said to do a trial of local estrogen and, if that gets rid of it, we can conclude it was atrophic vaginitis. After 3 weeks on the loading dose of every night, it did pretty much get rid of it. I occasionally had a tiny bit of stringy stuff (the glue like stuff but just a bit!) but that was all - no stinging or burning or large glue blobs. Then I was okay on 2x weekly - until I reduced my systemic estrogen last week....
Now the glue stuff is back again
And the stinging and burning in the vulva. I feel like it's the discharge itself which stings, like it's really acidic.
So I'm back to using Vagifem every night and Ovestin 2x a day. I am going to run out of Vagifem because I've only been given it to use 2x weekly, so I'm going to attempt to request it every day.
I am a bit worried about other things this glue like stuff could be, because none of the other vaginitis-es sound very easy to treat and get rid of - or even to diagnose. And I don't want GPs to just throw antibiotics and steroids at me because that could just mess up the microbiome even more. So I am just hoping that smothering estrogen everywhere down there is going to fix it(!). It appeared to, last time...
Has anyone tried an e-string? I am thinking this would be a better way to have permanent estrogen delivered down there rather than Vagifem every night - just put it in for 3 months....
