Estrogel hrt and additional vagifem

[BBBOA]

Hi.

I have a history of hrt intolerance and having had a total hysterectomy I can now just about tolerate estrogel in a very low dose. I have been prescribed vagifem 10mcg and wondered if this will effect my Estrogen levels, despite the gynae saying it won't. Any response or feedback gratefully received. Thanks!

As Vagifem is topical only a tiny amount if any will be absorbed, I've used it for years and not had any problems.

Many thanks. I'm hoping that is the case as I currently use 1 pump of estrogel and any more makes me nauseous. Hopefully any absorption will go unnoticed. Fingers crossed!

Thanks again.
