So sorry to ask yet another VA related question! I've been struggling on and off for almost 4 weeks now, started with vagifem mid-July and seemed to be doing okay, less symptoms of burning and feeling like I needed to have a wee frequently. However, recently, the burning has returned and the feeling of needing to go to the loo. It's been miserable. I spoke to my GP a couple of days ago and he thinks that twice weekly Vagifem isn't enough so has put me up to 3 times a week. I did ask him whether he thinks I'm reacting to the Vagifem as I think it may be worse the day after inserting it. He didn't think it was a reaction but said he couldn't rule it out, suggesting to try the increased dose and see what happened after 2 months. I know that, if it is still VA, it could take time before the increased dose works. He did say I could try something else if I still had problems, something that had been trialled in Germany!. I'm guessing cream?
I'm just wondering whether anyone else has felt like this. How do you tell the difference between a reaction and needing more local oestrogen. Feeling miserable and just want life to not focus around this. Sorry :-(
