User Reviews for Estradiol

Evamist (estradiol) for Postmenopausal Symptoms: I haven't seen much mentioned about the personality change (i.e. edginess and sometimes just plain meaness) that occurs with perimenopause. I have found that using this spray it takes that edginess away. My family can tell when I forget to spray it in the morning. I don't like being mean, my nature is typically laid back and normally a nice person. It has been a big help to me and my family by giving the nice Mom back to the family.

Vivelle (estradiol) for Postmenopausal Symptoms: I have been on the Vivelle Dot for 3 years after having my hysterectomy. It is wonderful and has controlled my hotflashes, night sweats, breast tenderness, and dry sking. The Vivelle Dot is a much better drug for me than Premarin. The Premarin was making my skin literally very dry and shrivel. At first the Premarin was fine and after several years it started to have a very different effect on me causing pain during intercourse and very dry skin. Changed to Vivelle Dot and all symptoms went away

Vivelle-Dot (estradiol) for Postmenopausal Symptoms: I started using the Vivelle-Dot patch after having a total hysterectomy. Before starting the patch, I was having vaginal burning & itching, hot flashes, and night sweats. Within a week of starting the patch, all of these symptoms were resolved. To date, I've not experienced any side effects.

estradiol for Postmenopausal Symptoms: I was very reluctant to use this method, but I must say that it works. My hot flashing has decreased to 1 hot flash per day. I now have moisture in my vagina again, which is naturally creamy like before my hysterectomy. I am very pleased.

Climara (estradiol) for Atrophic Vaginitis: In general, I'm happy with this patch. I have difficulty getting it to stay on for an entire week. It stopped the hot flashes and allowed me to have sex again (thin vaginal tissues caused major problems). I do have asthma, high cholesterol, history of migraines. I don't think I'm having any side effects. The progesterone I have to take with it causes terrible side effects. I'm 57.

Climara (estradiol) for Postmenopausal Symptoms: Have had no hot flushes since using Climara. Skin looks better. Noticed all tissues were thinning out after hysterectomy and all have returned to normal. My patch stays on all week now that I have had time to figure out best method. Apply to clean dry skin, put patch on, press firmly then make a circle (using fingers) around and around on patch. Once I have pressed it stays on all week. Takes about 40-45 seconds to make sure it sticks. Very simple.

Evamist (estradiol) for Postmenopausal Symptoms: Does a very good job reducing hot flashes. Mine have disappeared. It's easy to use, is plant based and does not go through the liver. Wonderful.

Estrace (estradiol) for Postmenopausal Symptoms: Works well with mood swings and hot flashes. Side effects are not that great for me, I have dizziness and sore breasts, however both seem to be dissipating as I go through my first month's doses.

Climara (estradiol) for Postmenopausal Symptoms: My severe menopausal symptoms stopped in 24 hours after application of this patch.

estradiol for Postmenopausal Symptoms: Just started 3 weeks ago and noticed a weight gain of about 3 pound right away. It works though. Noticed no night sweats or insomnia starting the first night. Worth the trade off so far. Worried about the weight gain though.

estradiol for Postmenopausal Symptoms: After 3 years of using generic Estridiol patch I cannot imagine life without it! First year of use experienced average of one hot flash a month, very few night sweats and no more mood swings. The following year put on lower dose and haven't had a hot flash in over a year. Drastic improvement in my quality of life.

Vivelle-Dot (estradiol) for Postmenopausal Symptoms: After a full hysterectomy at 42 years I started taking the patch due to severe hot flashes and terrible insomnia. After less then I week, I've had only mild hot flashes and 2 good nights of sleep. I'm so happy to be taking estrogen. No side effects

Vivelle (estradiol) for Postmenopausal Symptoms: I've been Vivelle for at least 4 years now. HRT pills upset my stomach and were not as effective for me. I tried the generic version of Vivelle but it was a much larger patch and did not stick as well. The adhesive on the generic also gave me a rash. Stick to the brand on this one would be my recommendation. I'm down to the lowest dose, hopefully will be done completely in another year or so. But this has saved my sanity and that of those around me.

Evamist (estradiol) for Postmenopausal Symptoms: I have only used this spray for two days, but wow! I feel like I'm 30 again....I love it!! I didn't know I felt that bad, until my first dose. About 7 hours later, I felt like dancing, and I've been super happy ever since.

Vivelle-Dot (estradiol): At 45, I began a two-year battle of hot flashes and excessive uterine bleeding. My gynecologist prescribed various HRT with little to no relief. At 47, I had a total hysterectomy. The morning after my surgery, I put on my first Vivelle Dot patch (0.1 strength). For three years, I have had wonderful results with Vivelle Dot from the beginning, no skin sensitivity, great sleep, very little hot flashes.

Femring (estradiol) for Postmenopausal Symptoms: 1 every 3 months is great. I forget I have it. Feel well balanced hormonally.

estradiol for Postmenopausal Symptoms: I was suffering from stress incontinence while jogging, and my doctor suggested that I try Estring. After a couple of months, I no longer have this problem, which is a real relief.

Estradiol Patch (estradiol) for Oophorectomy: I have been on the patch for a month now and it works. No more hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings. It stays on all week and the only side effect I have experienced is mild headaches. The convenience of weekly application is great.

Vivelle-Dot (estradiol) for Postmenopausal Symptoms: Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. I experienced some chest pain and heaviness within the first day of taking.

Evamist (estradiol) for Postmenopausal Symptoms: Thanks for everyone's reviews. I have been suffering through so many of the same menopausal symptoms. Had Doctor's appointment today and just cannot take it any longer. Hot flashes, no sleep, irritability, anxiety, heart palpitations and many more. Excited to give estradiol (mist-spray form) and Prometrium a try...wish me luck.

Femring (estradiol) for Postmenopausal Symptoms: Very convenient......noted side effects of breast tenderness (bothersome) and increased milky vaginal discharge (am told this is normal)......has improved vaginal dryness and dysparuenia (painful intercourse).

Estraderm (estradiol) for Postmenopausal Symptoms: I had very good results. It's great.

Vivelle-Dot (estradiol): My doctor prescribed Vivelle dot patch 1.0 for me right after total hysterectomy 10 years ago. In recent years, dose was lowered to 0.075, then 0.05. Two months ago, I stopped taking it altogether without doctors permission (my doctor closed her practice). I tried to quit before but was not successful because I always got dull headaches. I was, however, able to stay off of it this time but experienced hot flashes and dull headaches. I never knew what hot flash was before. I started back on patch again and I feel much better - no more hot flashes and headaches. Now, I see that there is even a lower dose, I will ask my next doctor to prescribe me lower one yet.

Evamist (estradiol) for Postmenopausal Symptoms: Eliminated hot flashes, slept through the night, mood was great, mind sharp, no more brain fog! Lost weight because I am not craving sweets and salty foods all the time. Energy up, feel 20 years younger! The bad part is that it is so expensive, but it has no side effects for me and works quickly. Love it.

Estrace (estradiol) for Postmenopausal Symptoms: Works good but my co-pay with Insurance is very expensive.
