Hello again everyone, and thanks to everyone who has posted on my two other posts.
So last night I took my first dose of the Estradiol cream. Thankfully, it didn't seem to have any local irritation which I was anticipating. One thing though is, as with any medication that I get, I really do an in-depth study into it and reading the insert and all that before I use it, and if it wasn't for my desperation and being absolutely sick of fire crotch, I probably wouldn't be using it because the insert scared the life out of me! I mean seriously, I'm pretty sure a lot of people here have read the inserts to these estrogen products.. I mean geez, I get it, the pharm companies want to cya, cover their butts, but geez, with an insert like that, I wonder how many people have just read the insert and then decided not to use the product after all?? I still don't really know if whether I consider everything they wrote as being realistic possibilities. I guess what I'm saying is, I'm not really sure when I do the cost benefit analysis if the fear of the things they mentioned is even all that valid. I don't know. I guess I'm just rambling here, it's just that when I read that insert, it freaked me out, but fortunately I found many women on this site and elsewhere that have said otherwise so that makes me feel better
