"Works great for vaginal atrophy. MD put me on 2 wks of 1 mg nightly of vaginal Estrace, followed by 1 mg 2x a week. It's a bit messy, so may opt for the Mona Lisa Touch laser for atrophy in the long run, but this does help greatly with lubrication and plumping atrophied vaginal tissues. I went into menopause at 30 due to surgical menopause, so this made me feel more confident about myself sexually."

"I use the patch 2 times a week for 3 weeks and then off a week. Also take progesterone and using the hormonal cream, although I am not sexually active, it works nicely to rehydrate tissue. Has helped with mood swings, hot flashes, decreased the tummy fat/chin fat issues, and generally I feel better. Started at 0.050 and went down to 0.025. Still assessing to see what dose is best because there is also 0.0375, which is slightly higher. I cannot tell you how my body told me that a smaller dose was going to work. But I just “felt” it. My doctor was happy I wanted to try a smaller dose and told me to call if it did not work out. Wishing you all the best in your search for quality health."

"Love it, no hot flashes or mood changes and feel like having sex again. Breasts have enlarged but are not painful. Taking 1 mg tablets, hope I never have to give up my wonder pill. Have been taking it for years and I am 70 years old."
