      Well maybe that is a bit early. No harm asking your specialist next visit but i know our bodies all change at different paces. My Dr put me on ovestin cream to help with the atrophy which is in my books about the same thing. Maybe try discussing that with your Dr too. 

      Not a Dr so cant tell for sure and it does not hurt to ask if in doubt.

      Hi Justin's this happened to me as soon as I had started on the clob after about 10 days, I was really upset as the width of mine is half the size, my gyn says he hasn't hea of the clob doing that, I am 57 but my labia minors now prodrude , I was fine before but all this pulling apart and spreading of the creams has made mine much smaller. I wonder if It will plump up again with the use of estrogen.
