Conjugated estrogens for Hypoestrogenism "I need to use this post-complete hysterectomy. Cenestin has been the most wonderful hormone replacement therapy for me. I have no hot flashes, side effects, my hair is thick. The price is affordable, even without insurance, you just have to shop around. Take my dog, my man, etc., but do not touch my Cenestin. It is a total Godsend to me."

Conjugated estrogens for Postmenopausal Symptoms "I highly recommend adding a bio-identical to a Premarin regimen. I began experiencing overactive bladder and recurrent UTIs. My PCP did not recommend an OBGYN until I was having the UTIs and wanted a compounded prescription. My dosage was played with or changed many times without doing any blood work by my PCP. Don't think your PCP knows what they're doing. Get in touch with a doctor who works with a compounding pharmacy that specializes in hormone replacement."

Conjugated estrogens for Oophorectomy "In 1971, I had surgery and was put on 1.25 Premarin and told I must take it for life. Now, in the year 2009, looking back on all, I have to say I wish I had refused the surgery and didn't take Premarin. They didn't tell us about the possible side effects in those days, told only we wouldn't understand. I reported side effects to doctors, who did nothing. My huge stomach is finally beginning to shrink after being off Premarin for years."

Conjugated estrogens for Postmenopausal Symptoms "I have been taking this drug for 8 months. It was helping at first, but the hot flushes are coming back more frequently now, and I'm tearing up a lot lately. I had bloods done and asked if I could take a higher dosage because the test showed I'm definitely going through the change. She said no, as it would increase my chance of breast cancer. I take 0.3 each night."

Conjugated estrogens for Atrophic Vaginitis "I was prescribed Premarin vaginal cream to use for 2 weeks prior to my pap. I had a total hysterectomy 9 months ago. I experienced severe acid stomach from this medicine. I have a history of stomach acid, so I didn't put the 2 together. I took my usual meds, avoided food that could trigger acid, but to no avail. I suffered for 5 days of severe acid stomach until I decided to stop the cream that night. The following day, my stomach was still sore but not acidic. I woke up with a headache. I didn't think the cream would affect me this way since its effects are limited to the vaginal area. I was wrong. I can confirm that my acid stomach was due to Premarin vaginal cream."

Conjugated estrogens for Primary Ovarian Failure "Worked great for many months. Then I started noticing my hair falling out, bladder irritation, and then the dark spots that were staying put while the rest of my summer tan was fading. It was great while it lasted, though."

Conjugated estrogens for Atrophic Vaginitis "I used this cream for one month. I had to stop because it made my breast hurt so bad. I have a history of lumps in my breast, so, of course, when I found out this cream increases your chance for breast cancer, I had to stop. Will not use again."

Conjugated estrogens for Postmenopausal Symptoms "Experienced menopause at an early age, had extreme menstrual problems from the beginning starting at about age 8. I am told after going through much menstrual problems my whole life, I have several fibroids. Hoping that after menopause they would naturally shrink. Mine grew and cause me extreme pain. Hormone therapy has relieved this pain. However, side effects I think cause me anxiety, and I cry easily. When I try to cut back, I only take it twice a week, the pain comes back, which is severe. I cannot stop taking it, but the cost is almost $300 for the prescription, as I have no insurance for this. I noticed in the comments no one else mentions it used for this problem, does anyone know?"

Conjugated estrogens for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "Was put on 1.25 mg for the constant bleeding my Nexplanon implant caused me. It didn't work and made me so sick! I am a 23-year-old mother of 2. Prior to Nexplanon and Premarin, I had never used any kind of hormonal medicine. I had terrible pain in the left side of my calf, the whole left side of my body was numb, chest pain, rapid heartbeat and palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, unbalanced, nausea. I felt like I was dying!"

Conjugated estrogens for Postmenopausal Symptoms "I just started Premarin 0.625. It works, but I feel I need a higher mg, because it works for only 4 to 5 hours. Then the burning comes back. It is working. Hope my doctor can adjust the dose. Ladies, Premarin dose is the key. Dose and strength are different for all of us. Don’t give up, work with your doctor :)"

Conjugated estrogens for Atrophic Vaginitis "I was given this to help with vaginal atrophy that resulted in painful UTI-like symptoms and painful sex. By the third week, I got limited relief from those symptoms, but had debilitating dizziness and horrible hot flashes. This stuff took me from having had a handful of hot flashes in my entire life to 5 or 6 a night. Not taking it anymore."

Conjugated estrogens for Postmenopausal Symptoms "Enjuvia helped me with my sudden menopausal symptoms after I had to have a hysterectomy at 47, but I have gained a tremendous amount of weight on it (60 lbs, at least). I don't know for sure that it was the Enjuvia, but I was slim before I started taking it and now am obese. I ran out of it recently and noticed that I immediately started to lose weight without even trying. I will update my review when I have been off of it longer. I have been at my wits' end trying to lose weight, so hopefully this will help."

Conjugated estrogens for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I've been taking this for the past 15 years and haven't had any problems. I have an annual check-up, and so far, there haven't been any concerns. I did have a urinalysis done for a quarterly blood pressure check-up, and there was a detection of blood in my urine. Not sure if it's a result of taking the Premarin, but I made an appointment to go back to the doctor to follow up in 3 months."

Conjugated estrogens for Postmenopausal Symptoms "For a year post-surgery, I could not get cold. My family froze in the winter, honestly, they blew smoke in the air it was so cold in my house. I was burning up still. I can't remember the few meds I tried before my GYN finally prescribed Cenestin. End of story. Total fix within a few days. But now I'm told it is no longer being manufactured. On Premarin now... We will see."

Conjugated estrogens for Postmenopausal Symptoms "I depended on Enjuvia for 5 years, but for the last 2, it has not been available. I felt healthy and happy while taking Enjuvia, with cognitive sharpness, physical stamina, and a stable mood. Headaches, word search, night sweats, and skin deterioration all returned in the last 2 years while taking Estradiol. It has been like falling off a cliff. PLEASE bring back Enjuvia!!"

For Osteoporosis "I needed a hysterectomy at age 29. I have been on Premarin for 22 years. I had my first bone density scan at age 33. Today, there has been very little change in my bone density levels. I enjoy weight training and my 8 grandchildren! I am a perfect candidate for Premarin. I have never smoked. With the exception of fish, I am a vegetarian. I take vitamin D and a multivitamin. For me, Premarin was a lifesaver."

Conjugated estrogens for Postmenopausal Symptoms "Please tell me you are still going to be making Enjuvia. I have been on this drug for years, and it really works great for hot flashes and mood swings. I need my prescription filled, and I am totally out of it. The pharmacies are all saying you are not making it anymore and that there is no generic drug-period. I beg you to still make this product. What are we to do if we can no longer get it and there is no form of a generic made? Us patients can't go off of Enjuvia cold turkey. Evidently, the pharmacies were not warned ahead of time, and neither were the prescribing doctors, that the drug was stopping being made. This is terrible."

Conjugated estrogens for Oophorectomy "Unnecessary oophorectomy performed 2000, age 50, still having periods. Hysterectomy too, due to fibroids. Now discover that it's possible to remove fibroids, leaving womb intact! Suffering terribly from symptoms, given 1 mg of Premarin. Over three years, I started with severe headaches resulting in projectile vomiting! I was working at the time, so came off it entirely. No good! I tried different drugs, given Climaval, fantastic! Felt driven, confident, marvelous. Hair and skin glowing again. So, MHRA in the UK removed this drug from the market. I tried many more, I am placed on Premarin 0.3, which makes me feel nauseous, appetite affected as a result, and have arthritic pain. However, I stick it out as, mentally, I don’t feel too bad. The sickness fades, I am now stuck with bloating, flatulence, which is noisy and uncontrollable. Why aren’t side effects removed from these drugs?"

Conjugated estrogens for Hypoestrogenism "I had cancer twice, and my ovaries are not producing hormones because of it. I'm now an adult and still have not started my period. I'm only on 0.3 mg, and it makes me eat more, and my doctor says I'm growing, so it's working so far."

Conjugated estrogens for Postmenopausal Symptoms "Wish they still made it. I was allergic to everything in other hormones. Gave me chronic migraines. Cenestin was the only hormone I could take that didn't. Glad I'm old enough not to need them anymore. They really should start making them again for the thousands of women I met at migraine clinics."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I started an abnormal cycle after a year of not having one. At first, my cycle had come back with a vengeance, and then it went to just spotting. I thought yes, it's about over, but the spotting did not stop. It was well over a month, so a co-worker introduced me to conjugated estrogen tablets. I started taking them for my hot flashes, but little did I know that they would also stop the irregular vaginal spotting. But it took a week for it to get in my system and work."

Conjugated estrogens for Postmenopausal Symptoms "It's been two nights since I took the first dose of vaginal cream (1/2 gram) for vaginal pain. Since taking it, I have developed terrible anxiety, felt spacey all day, had a headache, and had trouble sleeping. My reflux, which was under control with Pepcid, has worsened. My doctor does not think these are side effects of the medication, but I do not believe that. Maybe the side effects will get better after more doses, but I am reluctant to continue using Premarin."

Conjugated estrogens for Postmenopausal Symptoms "I began Premarin cream a month ago, using a pea-sized amount twice weekly. It does help with perimenopause symptoms. My estrogen got very low, I ended up with prolapses, dryness, sweating, melasma, facial hair, acne, water retention, and mood swings. So, I was given the cream to help with burning and prolapse. My concern is that I still have regular menstruation, and no progesterone was given to me with this. The sweats and burning are improving, but all other symptoms are worse! Especially acne. I’m wondering if it’s estrogen dominance, even though the estrogen is low, but the doctors dismiss these concerns, and nobody will repair the class three prolapse until it’s all the way out."
