Ovestin experiences?

I was prescribed to use Ovestin cream due to my vulva being dry and irritated. I wonder how long it takes to work? Any experiences?

It’s actually caused my skin to be even more irritated!! could just be me but im not saying its good to use!! not a professional

didn’t think it was any use mine progressed until very painful when going to toilet

I have Just started on this (4 doses so far) and think I waited too long. (no sex so didn’t worry about dry vagina) . it’s so difficult to insert the applicator and it scraped against the vaginal wall - now I’m sore and can’t tell if it’s from the cream or from the scrape. why on earth don’t they give some lubricant with it? I am trying olive oil as lubricant to avoid further scrapes.
having a bad time with it, I’m 61 and still working part time, so worried about trying to work with desperate pee urge after a half hour or so and now the soreness. I will persevere and let you know. any other input welcome!
nights dreadful too. waking up with sore belly and desperate for a pee but so tired I can’t think what I need to do to feel better.
who’d be a woman? we are not alone. xx
