This board has been interesting...just found you ladies. Well I have been using FemHrt for a few yrs, but continue with hot flashes, and monthly flow (slight). I am 57 and have considered the cream that I have read about. Would any of you have info? Thank you very much---Molly

I was told to use 2 grams 3x per week. That instantly helped the bladder infections, burning and bleeding. But then the cramping/bloating started. I brought it down to 1 gram and then finally just a tad on my fingertip a few times a week. I have one ovary and that's the side that hurts me so much. I've been off of the Estrace for one week now (BTW, the worst experience I've ever had stopping it cold turkey) and I feel like the bladder symptoms are coming back now but the cramping went away. UGH I can't wait for the saliva test to come back so I can hopefully get back on track. I have made an appointment with a Urogynecologist also. I am SO ready for a new Dr. Thank you for responding.

When I began using Depo Provera for endometriosis and then had my uterus and an ovary removed in the early 90's, I started leaking urine and had to start wearing light pads every day. I'm only 39 and am tired of this. Just started using Estrace. Hoping and praying that because of the time that has past since my hysterectomy, the hormones from Estrace will not trigger a relapse of endometriosis. So, I have two questions: 1. Has anyone used Estrace to control leakage and benefited from it? 2. Is anyone using Estrace cream who has had endo? Any return of endo? Thanks so much for any input.

Yes, Gentle Cream is significantly lighter than MT. I have been looking at pictures of really bright/sunny rooms that are painted a very light color and I'm liking that look. Very calm and soothing. Many of the other rooms near this room have color - green in kitchen, red in living room, gold in dining room. So, I wanted to go with something more neutral in this room. Trim will be painted BM Vanilla Ice Cream (a creamy white). Not too much contrast against the walls, but that is also what I am going for. Thanks, sayde. I did look at Stone House. I had helped a friend pick that color. It looks great in her house. Not so great in my house. And, I've been through many, many other BM colors. Eliminated them all for one reason or another -- too pink, too green, too yellow, too something. I don't have the luxury of saying it's just paint and I can redo it if I don't like it. This room is very large with catherdral ceilings and I cannot paint it myself. So, this is my one shot to get the color right, and it's very difficult.
