Hi, I wondered if anyone has any experience using Ovestin 1mg cream whilst on Tamoxifen.
I have finished my treatment in Feb 2022 and had ER+ and PR+ breast cancer, went through lumpectomy, chemo, radiotherapy and targeted treatment.
Since finishing treatment I have started to think about having sex again (not even considered it during treatment!) but have zero libido. I have been reading about Ovestin cream, which is a vaginal absorbant eostrogen cream, but as it is absorbed in the vagina I read the implications of using it after ER+ breast cancer are low. However the instructions with the cream say in capitals - don't use if previously had ER+ breast cancer. My doctor was fine to prescribe it for me and am yet to speak to my oncologist.
Anyone using it already or any feedback welcome.
Thanks Poppytwo - I've got a sample which I'll try. I'm so glad you posed this question 
Yes, the dilators worked for me and actually the instructions were the best thing - they say to relax around them at first.infind that really helpful when having sex - just stop for a second and all
yourself to relax, otherwise I find that the tightness can stay throughout sex which is a bit uncomfy. If we just take that moment to relax then it feels normal again.
It took a while with the dilators and you have to use them regularly but they definitely helped me after feeling so completely different after chemo and sudden menopause.
No body really talks about that side of things.
