Thank you for your reply.I was taken off Femoston conti simply because I have reach the age of sixty, but I needed something to help with vagina dryness so was put on vagifem.

Then he recently started me on Vagifem.. i could only put up with that for 5 days and then had to stop using it at the weekend due to the same problem, burning, bladder spasm, frequency , pelvic pain and bloating with cramps.
I'm stuck now as my Gyne is on holiday and I have no idea what I should do. Went to the doctors this morning and they were no help.

It's nice to know I am not alone. When I told my GP about the awful cramps and stomach pain she total dismissed the idea it could be the Vagifem and advised me to continue with the treatment. Took one more dose still In agony, so I spoke to a different doctor and was told to come off it immediately.So I have been off it two weeks now and the pain is starting ease.

Can I ask how old you are please? I'm 44.
So that is two lots of topical estregen over the last few weeks that have only made my symptoms much worse with added pelvic cramping pain and upset tummy/nausea... it does make me wonder it really does.
Afew people have mentioned to me about endometriosis as a possibility and the fact that feeding estregen only makes endo symptoms 100 times worse. I'm having the laporoscopy in two weeks with the gyne I've been seeing. It does make me wonder if there is something else going on like Endo then why on earth would the gyno be giving me Estrgen to use which only makes matters worse???
My blood tests for hormones the FSH was only slightly elevated he said but on that basis he thinks I am hitting the change?? but my regular doctor has seen the results and doesn't think I am going through the change and was surprised when she heard that the gyne thought I was
I am totally baffled and it makes me wonder do any of them know what they are doing?

I am sixty and that is the reason the doctor took me off the Femoston. I agree with you it seems one size fits all but that's not the case. Can I ask do you get irritation down below I have had this for 5 years and still cannot solve the problem. I am due to see a dermotologist at the end of the month. Hope she has the answer.

The irritation I have been getting has been going on since January but it is more bladder/uretha irrtitation, which my gyne is saying is all combined with hormones etc.
I'm not going to know anymore until I have the laparoscopy...
will keep you posted

The answer to your question ? did I take asprin and the answer is no.The reason I came off Fem Con was,you have a larger risk of getting cancer after the age of sixty.
