For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I just started using Femring, after having tried expensive patches that irritated my skin, messy compounded creams, and drops. I already have a yeast infection, which never happens, plus low back and abdominal pain. Outrageous in this day and age that no enterprising pharma can come up with an estradiol without such hassles. My body does not like this ring - it is quite hard, large, and terribly uncomfortable, paid $100 for it, WITH insurance. Estradiol acetate, which is the kind of estradiol provided in this ring, has to pass through the liver, which is an inefficient way for the body to absorb. I expected better from Warner Chilcott. I am returning to my compounded drops, one drop on the pulse, twice daily, $25 for a two-month supply."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I have been using Femring for almost a year now. I have tried estrogen patches, which I am allergic to the adhesive, and had to switch to Divigel, which I was also allergic to its alcohol base and had to discontinue using it as well. I give Femring a 10 for the convenience of being able to use it for 90 days and not have to worry about taking a pill or changing something 2 to 3 times a week. I am not able to remove or insert Femring myself, and I have to visit my OB/GYN every 3 months for her to change it and insert a new one. Also, it is very expensive, especially if you don’t have insurance. It’s over $700 without insurance, and there is no generic. No side effects except for slight headaches when it’s close to changing time. Other than that, I have no hot flashes, mood swings, weight gain, etc."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I had a total hysterectomy. This was the best and most natural of anything I have used. I've tried creams, pills, compound pharmacies. This works the best."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "It's the best thing since sliced bread. I don't feel it, think about it, only change it every three months. My only problem is the cost - very expensive and my insurance pays nothing on it!"

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "Femring is an excellent form of estrogen replacement. Very convenient. It gives me a much better mood than estrogens I have used in the past."
