For Dyspareunia "Immediately stopped using Intrarosa after 3 months and 2 weeks! I gained 14 lbs, started losing my hair on the top of my head! Had night sweats and hot flashes and felt so tired! I would take a 3-hour nap after work for nearly 2 weeks, and I did not figure out why until I stumbled upon this website! Nothing brought back what menopause had taken away from me, I told my honey that lust has given way to trust, and we are good."

For Dyspareunia "After about 3 months of using Intrarosa, I felt I was having positive benefits with improvement of vaginal tissue. After that, I began to have terrible hot flashes (which were previously very infrequent and mild). I felt agitated and had an episode of crying that I could not control. Around 6 months of use, my blood pressure (which was never a problem) suddenly spiked to a dangerous level, and I ended up in the hospital. I discontinued using Intrarosa. Lots of tests later, and the doctors cannot say definitively that my problems were directly related to Intrarosa. I think they were, as all the symptoms have gone away, my hot flashes are back to 'normal,' and I feel like myself again. I'm now using coconut oil for lubrication, and so far, so good ;)"

For Dyspareunia "My gynecologist prescribed Intrarosa for painful sex. I am 54 years old and in perimenopause. I also have bladder leakage and urgency. Started this medication and had a problem with opening the package. Once inserted, I had an oily substance ruin my underwear. My hot flashes and night sweats got worse while using it and I began having raging and angry thoughts. I was on it for a week, but taking this was not worth how bad I felt physically. I will look for a more natural medicine."

For Dyspareunia "I did not have any emotional hormonal swings as I have read some women having. I am a 115-pound athletic woman but have hypertension, which has been managed. But after two weeks, my blood pressure went through the roof at nearly 200/104, with some nagging headaches, which could have been blood pressure or the medication. I do not have the headaches now, after a week or a bit longer, blood pressure went down into my normal ranges. I tried it again after three months, and the blood pressure went up again to 176/98. It is definitely, without a doubt, the Intrarosa... Stroke scares me a bit more, but not having sex, LOL. Hot flashes picked up a bit, but they are only annoying, blood pressure was serious."

For Dyspareunia "Fabulous! Within two weeks, this completely changed everything back to normal. This also helped hot flashes, night sweats, and sleep! I’m so thankful! 10/10. I used the manufacturer's coupon to get it to $87 per month."
