Have I got this right?
You should put it up you every night for 2 weeks then twice weekly after that?

That’s what they prescribe. I use it every day.

Up inside every day? Or just outside?

If your prescription is for Vagifem it's a pessary, so put it inside using the applicator.

If it's Ovestin, it's a cream so you can use the applicator to insert it, and/or use some outside if you have any external irritation. It depends on your symptoms.

For both types it's use daily for two weeks then twice weekly after that.

You can use topical oestrogen more than twice weekly, even daily if you need to as the amount of hormone in both is very low (lower in the Vagifem, I think)

Have ovestin cream
Have done the two weeks & it's helped a lot.
Wondering if 2 x a week is going to be enough.
