[quote=Anonymous]I'm 57. It's been about 15 months since I last had a period, so I was relatively late to menopause. I don't take HRT but I do use a topical estrogen cream, inserted in my vagina 2x/week. I do it because without it sex is uncomfortable with a lot of post-coital spotting, and I get frequent UTIs. Lube is just not enough. When I use the cream regularly, sex is comfortable as long as plenty of lube is used, no spotting, fewer UTIs. I don't know if you can use the estrogen cream when you are on HRT. This is a good conversation to have with your GYN.

That said, the estrogen cream doesn't do anything to bring back libido. I too used to really enjoy sex. In menopause, I can still achieve orgasm, but it takes a long, long time. My DH thinks that's great! But I just don't care about sex at all anymore and usually would rather be doing something else. (I don't masturbate anymore either.) My DH is still very interested though, so I go along to get along. It's really important to him. Sigh.[/quote]
