I am in the throes of the Mona Lisa treatment and would recommend this to anyone beg steal or borrow the money even just one treatment instead of the 3 recommended makes a massive difference.  When I saw the consultant he told me I had been using the Vagifem incorrectly - I started 2 years ago with one every day for 10 days then one every 3 or 4 days but by the time I saw the consultant I had upped it to every other day because of persistent recurrance of UTIs.,  He said that yes you should take it every day for 2 weeks then every 3-4 days for 3 months then take a months break before restarting every day for 2 weeks etc.  Thought I would post this as others may find it useful.
