Could I use half an applicator of estriol twice a week instead of a whole one once a week.
Posted , 8 users are following.
I want to use half the applicator of estriol cream once a week instead of a whole one because the first time I use toilet after using the cream half of it falls out anyway. It is helping the constant feeling of burning and feeling as though I have a UTI but apprehensive about using it.
Has anyone gained weight after using it and is it safe to use

Oops forgot to say I'm using it once every 3 to 4 days I think because I had such a bad reaction to Vagifem using that once a day that he decided to put me on this one every 3 to 4 days all I can say is I live in hope I am so fed up with sitting for work and being so 99% of the time

Jan does your urine ever smell like rotten eggs and is all cloudy. My doctor doesn't think much about it but before all this vaginal atrophy the on,y time I had that was with an infection. I don't think I have an infection because I am not ill like the usual UTI symptoms.
Am so fed up of all this I was up lots of times last night with burning and stinging again

Hi Olive sometimes it does it has been cloudy with white bits floating my doctor said that didn't matter and wasn't particular bothered. I have been back to the doctors today with a urine sample am still waiting for the phone call back I still think I have a urine infection again burning on peeing driving me nuts I am going to ask for a referral my life is revolving around all of this and it is dragging me down yet again I have done a lot of research and apparently once you suffer with a uti you are more likely to be susceptible to them again am soooo fed up will keep you posted

I know I have been bothered with UTI's for years. I am not good with antibiotics nor any drug in fact..Do you feel like you have a UTI like a headache and sweaty feeling in your back and a feeling in your head you just know it's UTI
I still feel I have a UTI but don't feel ill so between cloudy smelly urine and this VA I don't know if I am coming or going. Am so fed up too. I used the YES VM just as a moisturiser last night just because I havent anything else and it was disaster I was never out of the toilet.
does your bladder or that area feel sort of tingly all the time and worse before you go to the toilet as if you were desperately needing then only do a small amount.
What else

Well I never got the phone call back from the doctor!! Looking at the internet it could also be cystitis uti is related. Off to the chemist tomorrow! Yes tingly and worse before I pee. Sore as well. I don't think this weather helps either. When I mentioned about the estriol sorting it all out I don't think she understood! From what I understand this is all related BV, VA and UTIs clear the VA up everything else follows (I think). I haven't been on the estriol long enough yet they say about three months is when you see a difference can't wait. I just wish one of the doctors would explain it to me. I like you are really fed up with it all I hate being a woman!

Hi Olive, I am persevering with the estriol twice a week and I know I am not going to get the full benefit from this for at least another month I have only been using it for two months when I saw the practice nurse yesterday she said it's the outside that is looking sore and prescribed me the dermol she also thinks I have thrush -deep bloody joy try and sort one problem only to get another but will persevere with it. She says I am doing everything right and hopefully things will get better soon. I think it's the estriol that has caused the thrush but that will not stop me using it am also taking probiotics and I won't get the benefit from them either for another month or so so it's a waitin game.
