Gina - what to expect

4 replies

I've taken the plunge and ordered a course of Gina vaginal tablets online (it was advised on the VA thread). What can I expect? I do sometimes suffer from migraines, although they tend to be food related these days and I don't think they were ever hormonal. The amount of hormone in the tablets seems to be so low that I'm not expecting any side effects, but is there anything to watch out for?

Vaginal estrogen doesn't really get into your system, so I'd not worry about it.

I got really bad headaches after about two weeks and stopped it immediately despite experiencing positive effects too. My migraines are hormonal but also triggered by lack of sleep. The benefits of Gina did not seem worth the negatives. I hope your experience will be better.

PS. I didn't use tablets but pessaries

Thank you, both.
