Sorry to ask this question again!! Has anyone used more than one patch at a time, or changed it more frequently than twice a week? If so - did it help with VA? I just wondered if I could increase the dose and get any benefits. Thanks x

Has your Dr not suggested Vagifem pessaries, or some  topical cream etc for VA ,i think you need something like that rather than using an extra patch which i doubt you make much difference

[Lucyjo]

Thanks Jaycee,
Is there any cream you recommend which I could get otc. I can't face going back to GP!
Thank you x

[Lucyjo]

Forgot to say, I have been trying vagisil but not working x

[jaycee]

I am sorry i don't know of any cream that would work properly with VA as you need something to insert inside, but as i have had no need to look for any over the conter cream i have no idea, you can buy vagifem now over the counter i believe, but it will probably be expensive
You could try googling it or look at Boots website ,
Sorry can't be more help
I am sure someone with  more knowledge about it will be along soon

[jaycee]

Yes is good but not enough for VA is it Birdy? she still needs some internal  lubrication that is actual oestrogen

[Lucyjo]

Sorry about this ladies! I am also getting an itchy discharge - is this normal???

[jaycee]

Yes that can be all part of it, but you can get something from the chemist for that, maybe it's thrush, but you really need to go back to your Dr, and explain how things are

[Lucyjo]

Ok thanks, I will try and get something x

I am using Evorel Conti with Vagifem but started the Vagifem first (well before the Evorel). I have never used more than 2 patches a week but it has reduced my frequency of Vagifem to about 3 a week instead of 5-7. It took about 3 weeks to make that difference.

[Lucyjo]

Thank you for that Katejo, I have just rang the surgery and asked if they will leave me some vagifem.
Hopefully the duty doctor will ok it - will keep you posted!!
Did you use the vagifem every day for the first 2 weeks? Do you use them at night or morning?
What benefits have you found from the evorel conti?
Sorry to be so nosy!!!
Thanks again x

[Lucyjo]

Hi Katejo, just wondered if had any info regarding my last post!
Thanks in advance X

[Lucyjo]

Morning ladies, just had a phone call from surgery saying that as I am on patches - I cannot have the Vagifem as well!!! How come many of you can use both? So fed up!!!!!!

[jaycee]

That is just ridiculous,i didn't even know vagifem existed until i was prescrbed them for VA
I would change your Dr or go to another in your practice, surely they wont all have that attitude,it's just wrong

[Lucyjo]

Thanks jaycee, do you have patches & vagifem? The doctor who prescribed me the patches is on holiday so the duty doctor (senior partner at practice!) has said you can't use both.
Ready to rip my vagina off!!!!!!
