This is my second try at replens and again...after 2 doses my vaginal burning is actually worse! Anyone else not able to use replens?

I should try Vit E again. I tried it before but I am not thrilled with the "scent" I get with it. Almost like wheat germ smell. I even used natural Vit E.

I have to find SOMETHING for relief. Doctors won't give me hormones, pill or otherwise. "Too young" at 44 they say. It's up to me to help myself.

Any other ideas? I read about one called Moist Again from Yeast-Gard (Vagi-Gard) and they have one called Fresh Again that is for odors but works for keeping the pH at normal. My pH is always on the high side.

Thanks!

Hi Toobusy-I find Replens burns as well!
I use vitamin E capsules but I dont notice a smell at all.
If you want something to make intercourse comfortable, Astroglide is very good.
I find however that the vit E is fantastic to keep everything as it should be. I have had a total hyst and ovary removal and the vit E works better than anything else!
If there is a slight odour -well at least its not too unpleasant-at least it works!

Good to know I'm not the only one that burns more with Replens.

I think my sense of smell is just heightened these days. Hubby never smells the things I do. I was told I could probably smell sweat on an ant! LOL True! I'm going back to the E. It's cheaper and easier and there is no mess that some of these potions have. Hubby doesn't notice any scent from the E so I should relax about it. ...so hard to do these days.

Thanks!

Hi Toobusy,

Replens made me burn more too. Then again, just about everything does. Inserting Vit E capsules made me burn worse as well. What really worked at first was estrogen cream. It worked for several years but all at once caused more burning. Seems like my cells became resistant to that form of estrogen delivery. I'm on Femring now but will soon be taken off it and put on Vagifem. An exciting journey it's been! I hope you find something that helps before you're allowed hormones. Good luck and God bless,

Annie
