Guest guest Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 A few months ago I was finally able to add estrogen to my routine (only low dose progesterone before that for 4 years without any aversive effects.) I am menstruating regularly, but noticed in the last year or so that my skin started getting thinner/dryer which is why I tried the estrogen again (I tried before but ended up severely anxious and not able to sleep- my life during ovulation was difficult always throughout my adult life.) This time however (after my est day 12 blood test, for the first time showed slide to ~ 270 - from ~400 it was before), oh miracle, it took- I feel great, and my skin/appearance started improving. One problem though that my hormone regiment did not improve so far is the reduced ability to orgasm vaginally. I always could orgasm anally- and that remains. But I would really like to be a bit more normal and be able to orgasm vaginally easily. My question is- does estrogen applied topically to the skin elsewhere actually reach vagina? I hear about direct vaginal applications- can those be added to my already existing regiment (that is satisfactory in all ways but this)? I'd like to do as much research as possible before I go to see my (very agreeable) doctor. Please, let me know what you know- and direct me to where I can read on the topic. Thank you in advance!
