Blissel vaginal estriol and initial side-effects

0 replies

I've just started using Blissel for vaginal dryness/irritation.

About three days in, I had two days of feeling much more comfortable - almost normal even. I'm now on day seven the soreness is definitely back - and actually a little worse than it was before I started using the estriol.

I understand it's common to feel some irritation initially until your vagina gets used to the oestrogen, but also that it's not uncommon to have thrush with it too. 😩

Has anyone else found this? Do I just persevere for another few weeks?

It's just odd that I had a couple of good days, but I guess they could just have been a fluke. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Edited to add: I have a follow up with my doctor but that's a couple of weeks away.

Thanks for reading if you got this far!
