Update
Shortly after my last post above in this thread, I started tx with Estrace cream for my VA. My gyn insisted on blood work every week to monitor ER levels. My baseline, before starting the cream was <50 pg/ml (the lab sets the cut off for post-menopause at 130). After the first week, the level was up to 112; in week two, it was 106. I couldn't get to the lab the third week, but did go for the fourth and fifth. I got the results of my third blood test today, and the values were back to <50, where I started. I am assuming the results of the final test I took will be the same. I see my doctor in two weeks, and will find out the next step in my tx then. I am feeling much better, noticing increased sensation and less tenderness and some improvement in elasticity. I have noticed some increase in the frequency and intensity of hot flashes, but they are VERY mild compared to what I endured when I went through menopause. Thus far, I am very pleased with the results.
Hopeful
