In addition to my questions below, what effects will the Premarin have on my
daughter (being passed thru breastmilk)?
>Today my GYN made a preliminary dx of vaginal atrophy, possible vulvar
>vestibulitis, after I described the pain with intercourse and he did the
>swab test (which nearly caused me to jump off the table) and an internal
>exam. I am breastfeeding my 4 1/2 mos old daughter on-demand (every 2-3
>hours around the clock). Naturally, now that the office is closed,
>questions spring to mind. Thank goodness the WHForum is open 24 hours a
>day! ;)
>
>He prescribed Premarin Cream (.625mg) to be used once a day (for two
>weeks) - 2 grams total, .5 gram applied externally and the remainder
>internally. I hope I am assuming correctly that this is best applied
>before bedtime.
>
>The doctor mentioned that I may have a "period" after discontinuing the
>cream. Does this mean a bleed or a real period complete with ovulation
>beforehand? Also, should intercourse be avoided during the two weeks I am
>using this cream?
>
>Thanks in advance for any information.
