4 | Severe Vaginal dryness | Weight Gain!! I have gained 10 lbs in the 6 months on Vagifem. Absolutely nothing else has changed in my eating and exercise habits. Weight Gain is not a listed side effect but it definitely should be included!! Has anyone else experienced unexplained weight gain since starting Vagifem? | Vagifem has definitely relieved the vaginal dryness. I have yet to determine if it is worth the weight gain. However, the intimacy with my husband has returned to what it was before menopause. That, for sure, is blessing! | F | 55 | 6 months 10 MG 2X W | 3/13/2015 | 5 | vaginal dryness | None | Love it, no vaginal dryness, do not have to use lubricants, brought back physical intimacy in my marriage. No more pain...... | F | 57 | 4 years 10 2X W | 3/5/2015 | 5 | vaginal atrophy | bloating, some mood changes, weight gain. | This has been surprisingly wonderful, all uncomfortable symptoms have gone. Feel like myself, no pressure of everything falling out, no need to rush to washroom. I would like to try only once a week to avoid side effects if possible, I am very tiny 85lbs and this one size fits all, I question. Any suggestions would be appreciated. | F | 69 | 3 weeks 10 mg 2X W | 3/3/2015 | 4 | Frequent UTIs and pain when urinati | Slight. Burning after insertion. After two days symptoms have definitely eased.

Sensitive nipples. | I feel this drug has enabled me to fully enjoy sexual intercourse. I feel very well on it and have no plans to stop. I would really recommend this for dryness, before I was prescribed this I tried many gels and lubricants with no real effect. | F | 58 | 2 years 10 mg 2X W | 2/16/2015 | 4 | Vaginal atrophy, euretha pain | Experienced side effects which lessened each week until now it's maybe little hair loss (which could also be from low ferritin). The side effects in the first 2-3 weeks were off and on abdominal cramping, diarrhea, some sleepiness, spotting twice. Another side effect that continues is light colored discharge off and on. Pain and soreness is gone. | Read the common side effects. If they happen, most should disappear within the first month. Takes patience getting used to this treatment. | F | 60 | 7 months 10 mcg 2X W | 1/1/2015 | 1 | Premarin | Flu cold stuffy nose feel horrible side effects | My doctor changed from Premarin too this I just discarded the remaining and I will never take this product again | F | 57 | 10 days 10mg | 12/22/2014 | 1 | vaginel dryness and prolapse | Fatigue, depression, soreness, cramps,breast pain,horrible stuff. | Hate it and doctor lied i do not think this will cure my prolapse | F | 55 | 2 days 10mg | 11/29/2014 | 3 | virginal artophy | Started off ok with a bit of stinging.

In the end the side effects became so bad and far outweighed the benefits, so I have stopped using it. | F | 71 | 3 years 10 mcg 1X W | 9/2/2014 | 5 | infections pain burning vag thinnin | None.. | Vagifem has taken away all burning,itching,pain and I have a lot less vag infections as well as utis.

I would recommend anyone to try it. | F | 63 | 8 years 10 2X W | 5/1/2014 | 5 | UTIs, vaginal dryness and pressure | None | Made life worth living again. I had constant urinary tract infections, always felt I needed to pee, had vaginal soreness and it felt as though something was bulging out of my vagina (though nothing was). The discomfort really took the joy out of life. I tried using the 10 strength when the 25 was no longer available but it didn't work.All the symptoms returned, so I started using two 10s and things are great again. | F | 73 | 4 years 20 2X W | 4/23/2014 |
