| My gyn has suggested I try vaginal estrogen twice a week plus progesterone cream at night to help with symptoms. How has vaginal estrogen helped you? I’m curious which symptoms it will help with. |

| It helped me with vaginal dryness that made intercourse extremely painful (even with using lubrication). It’s also protective against UTIs. |

+1 Helped with vaginal atrophy, burning, bleeding and micro-tearing during sex, also bladder urgency and leaking. I think it actually also helped with my gluteal tendinitis… I guess that is local enough for it to reach. |

It helped a little with vaginal dryness. But the estrogen patch works 95% better. Use both now.

| Is it normal to only be prescribed estrogen and not progesterone? Should I go back and ask my dr? |

| If it is only vaginal estrogen, yes, if it is a patch or other systemic estrogen then you need progesterone unless you have the iud that has progesterone. |
