"I have been using Estrace for 5 years - a complete hysterectomy at age 42 - can't live without it - no more nightmares, nerves are calm normally according to my husband - HA! And I don't have hot flashes. I am fortunate that my insurance has always covered it, but in January 2018, a generic came out and my insurance would only pay for the generic. I was fine with that - but two months later I realized the generic was not working. All my symptoms had returned full-blown! My husband told me to go to the pharmacy and pay whatever the name brand Estrace costs! It would have been $325! I told the pharmacist my symptoms on the generic and he called my insurance company - told them I had had a reaction to the generic - they then covered the name brand - within 24 hours I felt like a new person and better each day. I want to say here - the generic did not work for me. Keep working it, women - there IS a way to have a GREAT AND HAPPY LIFE after menopause!"

"I have used Estrace samples for 6 months or so. I ran out and went to buy another tube. 375.00! And my insurance didn't cover any of it. (Costco was 325.00) I called my doctor, and they gave me a coupon, but my insurance didn't work with it. So overpriced. And my insurance just went up a 100 dollars a month. I just can't buy a medicine that is so overpriced. I thought it would be 50 dollars or so. There must be something else we can use? Also, the information I read said estrogens may increase the chances of getting cancer of the uterus. Why would we want to take this? I've got to do more homework and find something better!"

"I have been using Estrace cream for 11 years, and it's been working. I use about 1/3 applicator every 5 or 6 days. Suddenly, it stopped working. I don't have a bladder infection, I already went through yeast infection treatment, both Diflucan and vaginal creams, and my vagina still burns. The Estrace cream relieves it, but only for about 6 or 10 hours. I am 70 and not sexually active. I know years ago the urologist said everything looked kind of shriveled up and dry down there. Could the hormone cream just not work anymore? Now, what do I do?"

"I used this once 3 weeks ago. Immediately had horrible burning and was up all night with what felt like a UTI. Am now on my 3rd antibiotic due to the inflammation and feel like these symptoms will never go away. It may be a Godsend for some, but if you are allergic, it is a nightmare."

"My urologist has just put me on the cream 3 times a week for preventing UTIs. I just started using it, so not sure if it will help with this, but I pray that it does because the past year I have had one UTI after another, and I am tired of being on antibiotics all the time. The antibiotics are so hard on my gut. Anyways, no libido, and hopefully, that will improve too. So far, no bad side effects either, so that's good. I will be 60 in May. I always was very active sexually, now I don't even want to be touched, and my husband is not happy but understanding. So anyways, will report back, and hopefully this cream is a miracle worker!"

"Yesterday was the first time I used Estrace Vaginal Cream. I have experienced burning and throbbing. I will not use it again. My co-pay was $146.73. Wish there would have been samples. I could have saved the money."

"I started using Estrace because of frequent urination with burning and dryness. I started menopause 4 yrs ago. When I use Estrace after 2 days, I have to stop due to bleeding and cramping that lasts for a week. I'm not a fan!"
