Hi all.
My GP has just prescribed me this as I wasnt having much benefit from Yes (I'm also on vagifem), but I've started spotting alot, I did with this a year ago when I tried this once before, is that normal, does anyone else experience it?
TIA xx

Replens won't ease vaginal atrophy causation.  It can be purchased over the counter.  It didn't help me years ago and I found it messy.

Up the 'vagifem' to every night for as long as required.  Have a lookC at the 'yes' and 'sylc' websites too, some ladies find that as well as VA treatment really helps.

The spotting may well be due to dryness and lack of oestrogen. Let us know how you get on.

Actually I occasionally use Replens and had spotting with it recently. I was a bit concerned but thought maybe just some old blood.

It has lots of additives.

Thanks all.
I am re loading with the vagifem, on day 10. I've tried the Yes and it really stung, GP said she'd heard it can on some ladies so rx Replens just to help as a moisturiser in addition to Vagifem. It's not messy like Yes so I imagine it is being absorbed better...... but I am spotting and its brown 🤦‍♀️

Spotting is often common, brown is blood that's been left behind.  2 days after a period stopped I would get a day of brown staining.  It was normal for me so I never worried.

Let us know how you get on?

Thanks CLKD I havent had a period for about 8 months though, just seemed strange as I'd just started using Replens and it happened, hadn't ever happened with Yes. I'll see how it goes 😊
