Annie - Estring in latex so that will be a no,no for you I'm afraid. I'd ask for a referral to a specialist if your GP wont let you increase your usage of Vagifem. It's funny that I find that Vagifem causes me irritation but the Estring didn't - just shows how different we all are.  DG x

I know this is a bit sexist but you could try what my pal did in UK when her GP was stroppy
She went from 50mg week to 20mg a week@shed been on Vagi for 8 years I didnt know she was on it.
He refused to give her a rpt as quickly so she made an appt and said
My husband and I are having a bad time now Im down to 20mg its re affected our sex life@marriage
She got upset GP handed her over her rpt and said well you have been on 50mg a week for years
Your Ok so I think its OK for you to take the 5 a week indef In fact she took her husband with her
She said when she went in shed said her husband was outside GP couldnt get rid of her fast enough
Worth a try? So many ladies on here and in general the drop was huge too much from 50m to 20
No warning either one script 25m next 10m I remember the PANIC on here Ladies saying
What am I going to do and with in weeks same ladies saying sod it and putting in 3/4/5 a week
Mind i find its a sad inditment of medicine in general that a huge swath of GPs have no knowledge
Or interest in Meno women we are a drain on the surgeries time and money either they dont believe u
Say its your nerves or they know absolutly nothing about meno and when they do read up
God knows where@what they read cos too many dont understand what theyve read they may as well
Not bother. To find a GP whos sympathetic kind loving in fact and sees your in pain not mad@helps
AND if that means giving you what YOU need and what YOU have paid for in Taxes they r worth
Their weight in GOLD x

Just my luck about the latex

I'm waiting on a referral appt, hopefully he did the letter last week, just waiting to know when the appt is now
