Ovary not working?
I'm 9 mos. post-op and I've had spotting off & on since my dr. cleared me of all my restrictions at 8.5 weeks. He said my Cuff looked fine. He noticed I had vaginal dryness and I told him I've had that for a number of years.
I've tried many OTC products including Replens, Gyne Moistrin, KY Silk and also taking Flaxseed, extra water and doing Kegals. I've had some hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia and crying spells. The spotting is not necessarily related to intercourse and often happens just "out of the blue". I finally went to my GP today. She's pretty certain my ovary is not functioning properly - if at all. She ordered blood work to see where I'm at.
In the meantime, she gave me Estrogel to try. Has anyone used this? I've Googled that it is specifically for dryness, atrophy and hot flashes so it seems appropriate. I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with this product?
