Can't believe I didn't ask this while still at the doctor's office - and I can't find it in any of the literature. Is it safe for my husband for us to have sex on a night when I have inserted a dose?

I recommend waiting at least 1 hr after sex to use the Estrace cream. I do not recommend sex after use for several reason, effects the absorption of the medication and studies have show exposure to estrogen topically by males to have adverse effects especially in multiple exposure/long term situations.
