| Benefits: | | reduction of hot flashes, and reduction of vaginal dryness. I'd already been trying a vaginal estrogen ring, but this wasn't enough of a dose for me, apparently. Since taking out the ring, which I'd had in for 6 months, and using the cream instead, things have been a lot better (i.e. less dryness, and less pain with intercourse. Yay! |
