Hi everyone, I'm 65 and have had for three months now atrophic vaginitis...severe stage. Tried Premarin cream twice and both occasions made me very nauseous. I am now going to start another estrogen...made by a compounding pharmacy.. estriol (5%) with testostrone (5)...the test. is for healing the inside of my vagina, I'm told. When I started with the Premarin cream I only inserted 1/2 a gram (1 gram was the prescribed dosage) and I was soooo nauseous and sick the whole next day. Then a few days later I tried 1/4 gram on the outside on the libia and it made me sick too. So...now I'm to use this new compounded estrogen tonite. Of course I'm a bit scared. Suppose to insert vaginally 1 gram. Oh, by the way, Estriol is the weakest of the three estrogens...not suppose to have as much side effects as the other two. Tonite I think I'll just apply 1/4 outside and see my body's reaction. Beings my whole body is very dry due to estrogen loss...it will probably seep easily into my blood stream. Usually with a normal moisterized body...it would stay in my vagina.

I was wonder if there are any women who are using estriol cream and what were there experiences with it?? Oh, I live in the US.

First. let me say GOOD GOD, AM I GOING TO SUFFER UNTIL AND AFTER 65?????? Then, let me say that the pills and patches make me nauseated and throw up too. The doctor told me it was because I was still estrogenated and I was overdosing self. (50 and Regular as clockwork) I totally agree with working UP to it with a little on the outside and see how it goes. I know I am sick to death of each product causing a new problem
