Nickyp, I know sometimes everything you do worries you. The vagifem dose reduced maybe 6 or 7 years ago I think. Interesting about the financial side. The gynaecologist I saw only a couple of months ago was still suggesting having a break from ovestin. I have va and know it will worsen with a break and uti symptoms, tests etc. But then as Nicky says, you worry of you use more then you get spotting or other problems that scare me to death. I've been told just twice a week with ovestin but worry it's not enough and worry if I use more.
