In Peri (confirmed by variety of tests) but still having fairly regular periods, and after lots of issues with my vulva (dermatitis, dryness etc) Gynae at Early Menopause Clinic advised I start using Ovestin and I may start other HRT soon too, still tbc.
Have been applying both internally and externally, daily, for 10 days now.
All going better than expected (thought i might have a dermatitis reaction but seems to be helping), been feeling fine and definitely more ‘lubricated’ happily but today started have started bleeding/spotting.
I am mid cycle, should have just ovulated, so definitely not my period.
Spotting is listed as a common side effect in the first few months.. but I just wondered what other people’s experience was.
Going on holiday soon and was very pleased as it looked like I wouldn’t have my period but now wondering if I might be messing with things by starting the Ovestin now, when it was looking like my cycle would be well aligned. Though it’s never guaranteed.
