I've been using replens for the last 10 days (used about 4 doses so far) and the clumps or discharge(?) that have come out of me are horrific. I'm also on day 12 of my period so the clumps seem worse. Does anyone have experience with how long these side effects last? Happy to persevere if it's only a few weeks otherwise it's not a practical solution really. Is there an alternative treatment anyone could recommend for extreme dryness? I've recently come off birth control as that's what I think had caused the dryness in the first place hence the long period.
