I am not one to take prescription drugs. Having said that, after 4 years of increasing sexual pain I finally trusted my doctor in her recommendation for Vagifem. Pleasantly, I found that within the first week I had greatly reduced pain during intercourse. AND, during the 4 years when it was painful, I started having Urinary Tract Infections, UTIs. Very painful! I waited a year to review. I have o...

I have been using Vagifem for about 3 years and the results are wonderful. It took away the dryness and pain. I enjoy sex again. I am 63 years young. I only wish I could use more often, my Doctor cut me down to once a week and she wants me to skip a month now an then, but I felt it was more effective using twice a week. But still once a week is better than nothing. It's so easy to use unlike the creams that are so messy. I can't imagine being without Vaginfem.

I have been on this med for ~14 months and it helped greatly with dryness. I have always been plagued by headaches but as of late they are constant so I will look into this as an issue. Some diminished orgasm but patience helps.

I have been using this medication for about 9 months for vaginal dryness and bladder spasms - it has worked wonderfully for me. However over the last couple of weeks have developed a skin rash which is worsening every day. I plan to stop using the medication until the rash is gone and will try again.

I am 62 and was prescribed this medication for painful intercourse. After several months I developed a yellowish discharge which then produced some spotting. I have stopped using the medication about three weeks ago and am still experiencing the discharge with some mild spotting. it is begining to deminish, but is very worrisome and bothersome. Has anyone else experienced this while using this product?

This drug worked for me for about 6 months or so, but now has little to no effect at all. And now I know why I've been waking up with headaches. It's very discouraging to go from a very healthy sex life to not wanting it at all because of the pain due to vaginal dryness. I read someone's comment about using Estrace vaginal cream so will give that a try. I pray something is out there that works. This is the pits!

I, too, have experienced morning headaches and difficulty with orgasm over past two years, the length of time on Vagifem, although I've found it to be very effective with lubrication. Coincidental on headaches & orgasm? And the husband - any detrimental effects on erection?

I am 53 years old and my Dr prescribed this med for vaginal dryness, I have had a yellow discharge prior to starting the medication but it seems to have gotten worse. Has anyone else experienced this since starting its use?

I (a widow) have not had sex for over 10 years. Found a great man and decided to have intercourse. It was a disaster. He could not enter the vulva (too tight). Started on this med a month ago - haven't tried sex again. But doc said it might take up to a year (eeks) before I was "cured". Have had breast cancer and cervical cancer. Taking this is scary but I'm giving it a try. Wish me luck!

My Dr. prescribed it for vaginal dryness. In that aspect it has been wonderful. I don't need any lubricant for intercourse. I have noticed breast swelling and tenderness as well as general bloating almost since I started using it 6 months ago. I really didn't think too much about it until I starting waking up with headaches every morning. I NEVER GET HEADACHES! Does anybody else have bloating and headaches? Thanks for your help.

after inserting vagifem for 2 weeks straight, I acquired a yeast infection...I have only had 2 during my lifetime and I am sure this had something to do with it..Plus sex is as painful as prior to using vagifem.

I was pleased with the results, then two weeks after using I got a horrible yeast infection.I'm hoping once it's resolved I can go back on the tablets. They are so easy to use.And they helped.
