please ladies any tips or advice. I have vaginal dryness and lichen sclerosis I have gone from vagifem to natural products and back to vagifem. I worry about long term problems with vagifem and am desperate to find something which helps. My sex life with my lovely husband is suffering because although he has always been very patient he says every time we make love I give a running commentary on the pain level etc and he's probably right. It's gone from being a pleasure to my own clinical trial! I am only 59 and feel like my sex life is doomed. I am now going to try rep lens is there anyone who has had success with this product. This forum and you ladies out there are my link with sanity. Thankyou
Hi Jackie
I know how you feel we had sex 2 weeks ago and I have been plagued ever since, finally got some respite yesterday so had sex today and I expect the burning to be back tomorrow. Being in a relationship is a trial.
I can understand why the divorce rate in 60 year old women is so high up until recently UK women got their own pension and independence and I imagine they had had enough of "relationship" problems.
If you are like me you feel incredibly guilty for a) always feeling ill and b) coming up with excuses to not have sex or get it over with pretty quick.
I cannot believe I have this problem and had never heard of it before because since then nearly every woman I have spoken to over 50 or who have had a hysterectomy has it to some degreee.
Try the YES lubricant it is thicker and also their moisturiser which is available on prescription in the UK.
If I was not in a relationship I might try to do without Vagifem but whilst in one I dont see any alternative.
This forum really helps having someone else to discuss it with in a frank manner
My husband does not want to discuss it and deep down I think he thinks I am making it all up.
