Yorkiegirl, since you are ER/PR neg, I presume it is safe for you to use an estrogen cream. Well you are in luck my girl! I've tried this and it works WONDERFULLY with a bare minimal amount...it is Premarin cream. I had the same problem with dryness and thinning of the walls of the vag canal and sex was NOT comfortable (downright painful sometimes!) unless I was VERY turned on! So my obgyn suggested this premarin cream and it totally solved my dilemma! I only used 1/2 the recommended dosage and maybe once or twice a wk only and it worked very well.
