| I’ve been on HRT for about 8 months and just started the vaginal estrogen. I put it in 3x per week. How long might it take to see results? thanks! |

| Depends what results you want. Less dryness and soreness give it a month. Urinary stuff longer. |

| It worked for me pretty much immediately. |

| Completed 1st week of treatment, decided to give it a try. Not as dry but still painful. Hoping next week will be better. Yes, I'm asking my DH to be patient and only do PIV after a full week of treatment. I may up it to 2x a week based on how I feel next week. I just can't take the feeling of a 1000 paper cuts any longer. |

| Use the suppository the night before PIV. And do don't PIV if it's super painful. Sheesh. Your husband should suck it up. |

| My doctor had me do a loading dose of 0.01% cream every night for two weeks, then move to 2x/week. I use the tiniest pea-size dab. I saw results in those first two weeks. My pain level for PIV is gone. It's amazing! |

| Np. What’s PIV? |

| It took about 4 to 6 weeks for PIV to be more comfortable. But, it made me break out. |
