Question Solutions

I had been using the Estring but stopped in order to clear any estrogen out to make things simpler in order to get the Yale test for early detection of ovarian cancer.

I have to go back to doing something to help.

I don't know of any definite info about the question of using low-dose estrogen vs low-dose testosterone in terms of the effect, but am considering it since there is no evidence against it.

It is a lot more than just a question of lubrication or dilators for me. If we get our sense of differentiation of gender in childhood and puberty from our increasing hormonal levels, logically we lose a lot of our sense of gender when those levels drop -- especially when the levels drop so severely and suddenly.

For me there is no sense of being either male or female, yet I am in a very caring and committed long-term relationship (married 35+ years, with a very passionate shared history). I am interested not only in being able to perform the physical feat of intercourse without pain, but in getting back some sense of gender so that the act isn't a complete sacrifice of the self each time.
