Hi
I am 51, perimenopausal have vagifem. My instructions on the label say 'use one or two twice weekly' which confuses the pharmacists quite frequently
I usually use 3 a week, sometimes 4. I have never managed to get it down to twice a week, even with multiple reloads. Ideally, every other day would be best for me.
I find that how well it works varies as to what my hormones are up to, so it is hard to keep up sometimes. I have resumed my perimenopause diary, but not with the temp taking this time.
I also take femeston 1/10 but this does not have a huge effect on the vaginal symptoms.
If I stop taking anything, it takes weeks to get back on an even keel.
If it goes haywire, I get swollen, irritated, flabby skin, loads of wet discharge, thrush or BV or something, bad itching and feel
about my bits. It also come with occasional bladder pain, rushing to the loo and catastrophic knicker wetting.
Thankfully, no one has suggested 'taking a break' to me.
