Comparing Estrace vs Estradiol

For Postmenopausal Symptoms Works great for vaginal atrophy. MD put me on 2 wks of 1mg nightly of vaginal estrace, followed by 1mg 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.

For Postmenopausal Symptoms Works good but my co-pay with Insurance is very expensive.

For Postmenopausal Symptoms I love the effects of Estradiol Transdermal Patch on my severe hot flashes and mood swings. But because bathing water penetrates the glue and its difficult to get the patch to stay on more than 4-5 days. I've taped it on, placed a large bandaid over. Just anything to stretch out 7 days worth of use. This is a major issue with me because they only give you 4 patches a month. I've spoken with my pharmacist they suggested I contact the manufacturer. Does anyone else have this issue?

For Postmenopausal Symptoms I was very reluctant to use this method, but I must say that it works. My hot flashing has decreased to 1 hot flash per day. I now have moisture in my vagina again, which is naturally creamy like before my hysterectomy. I am very pleased.
