Hi CLKD and honeybun (I feel as if I know you already!),
Thank you for the welcome!
I also use 'Yes' water-based lubricant (my GP prescribed Sylk, but this irritated, so I now have 'Yes') on the 5 days I can't use Ovestin and although I haven't used this combination for very long, it seems to keep me comfortable (able to walk, sit down etc., -what a life!).
I did try Vagifem for about three days, but I started to feel uncomfortable and dry with my symptoms coming back. My GP had given me a prescription for that when the Ortho-Gynest pessaries were discontinued, but would only let me start after I had had a hysteroscopy for a thickened uterus (results were OK!) and the gynae gave me the go-ahead. (Long story short!) The gynae said to use Gynest cream after I had finished the Vagifem (but I didn't get that far!) as it would be more soothing being a cream. And of course that has now been discontinued, which is why I now have Ovestin!
