"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 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."
