I went to the ob/gyn today.
He recommended Vagifem first instead of estrace. However, he did say that low doses of estrace was ok, especially if you are er-. Just like you ladies said.
He did add that other patients had tried replens and did not alleviate as much. but he certainly said not to try it. I will.
Also other patients had used estring, also with no problems.
I feel like I rather see if the replens works first and then do the vagifem.
I guess the vagifem ( a vaginal tablet) is taken for ten days straight and then 2-3 times a week forever.
In the past, pre bc, I had use progestorne creams and l-agynine. both of which of course stopped in July 2005. Friends had real good results with the progesterone crema- I did not notice antyhing different. The l-argynine did help with mood
but I have stopped that because again, I'm scared.
Let me know if you come up with anything else.
If and when I switch, I'll post for others to research in future if they need it. As you know, this is our most thorough board for us.
