"I have been taking this to see if it will help with my vaginismus, which is where the vaginal clamps down during any sort of penetration due to a trauma. I think it has helped mildly, but not cured my condition - which is not surprising, since it's mostly mental."

"I'm 54 years old and a couple years into menopause. I started taking this because intercourse was starting to really hurt. A couple weeks in sex was comfortable and fun again. But about 6-7 weeks after starting it, I became depressed. I don't know if it's related. I've been gritting my teeth trying to power through the depressive feelings for 3 weeks now, but it's getting a lot worse. I just put a call into my doc, and I think I'll stop using it. Very sad for me, because it worked very well for its prescribed purpose."

"I have been using a pea-sized amount of generic Estrace since Sept 2022. I have had burning and inflammation. After visiting four different gynecologists all of who kept telling me it can't be the Estrace I finally found a doctor in the next state over who actually listened. Biopsy showed inflammation from irritant contact dermatitis. Heading to a dermatologist this week hopefully for patch testing. Now awaiting the arrival of compounded estrogen."

"I am 59, and it got to the point that I was avoiding sex. I had pain with intercourse and had to use lubricant all the time. I use 4mg once a week and am enjoying sex for the first time in years."

"Rootsgal, they generally say it takes 3-6 months to have full effects. It takes time to rebuild the vaginal tissues."

"I have been using this cream for years (had a total hysterectomy in 2001) and went of oral estrogen about 10 years ago. This cream is a miracle. Just wish it were not so expensive."

"Activating the Pay No More Than $25 card did not result in product being $25. False advertising. Did not purchase."
