Very timely. I posted a question regarding this a week ago including vaginal estrogen creams, etc

The ob/gyn said I could try the replens, rephresh, ky tablets etc and if did not work he gave me a prescription for vagifem, which the onc approved of.

however, the question still in my mind about libido. I have said it before, George Clooney could not light my fire I was menopausal before bc and chemo, so the libido went away even further. I think the stress of bc does a number in your head too.

the ob/gyn was hesistant to give me anything with testoterone at this time. maybe because he wants to see how my hormones react to the vagifem.

I have looked into heatlh stores and considered some form of progesterone but like Lolly I'm big chicken too. I do know of not to use DHEA- a friend of friend tried it and had all sort of moods ups and downs .

I have heard of l-arginine is useful for this libido. anyone tried this?
