"I used a 10 mcg on Sunday and Thursday for a total of 2 pills. It did wake up my lady parts but also caused a constant soreness and pressure in the pelvic area, and I am very bloated. Not worth it."

"At first, the burning was intense (from using the pills), it later decreased. After day 7, I had the worst case of bacterial vaginosis. I have stopped using the 10 mcg inserts."
