Well done!  'Photos.?

If you are having symptoms up the medication?  If it's Vagifem some ladies need nightly, sometimes two doses at once. 

Is it a flat area of Spain that you live? although a head wind can be as difficult on a cycle

Hi ladies

Just got back from the bike shop where I had the handlebars raised to the highest point they would go and got a saddle with the valley, much wider and shorter and more padding.

I pushed my bike all the way there and rode some of the way back - still too sore to do it all.

The difference was immediately noticeable. Once I've healed, I'm sure it will be much easier.

The saddle wasn't expensive - I've seen some really pricey ones online but it felt good when I was on it - mainly because of the width and valley I think because you don't have all the pressure underneath. The man actually recommended it so definitely worth changing.

Thanks for all your advice everyone. It means I can still get out and about to places further than those on foot.

I have a small bike shop walking distance from my house so I popped in to ask and see how helpful they might be. I didn't have the bike with me today because I was on my way home from food shopping but I asked about saddles and the height of handlebars too. The guy was pretty helpful so I will go back with the bike. I could see some possibly wider/shorter saddles on the wall. He had 1 display for men and another for women.

If you don't ask you don't get.  Let us know how you get on.

I know a Company was taking 3D scans of skull formations: we had ours done in Sept., my pictures came through, DH's never did  so that helmets can be made to fit the contours as well as building in individual protection across the bumps.  Can't remember the name of the Company though  but technology is improving.

Yes CLKD, where I am is really flat and lots of tracks through fruit groves so being on the bike is safe and really scenic. I walk to strengthen my bones and cycle for fitness and get further.

I changed from ovestin to colpotrofin recommended by the gynaecologist in Spain because the ovestin used to burn but so does this one. I find it burns more if I use it too often so it's a bit of a vicious circle. I use it three every days with yes in between but it isn't enough. I'm thinking of going back to ovestin. The one I found the best was estriol - the one where you have to use more - but I couldn't find it here.
