Postmenopausal Symptoms
"I just started using Fem Ring, after having tried expensive patches that irriatated my skin, messy compounded creams, and drops.  I already have a yeast infection, which never happens, plus low back and abdominal pain.  Outrageous in this day and age, that no enterprising pharma can come up with an estradiol without such hassles.  My body does not like this ring - it is quite hard, large, and terribly uncomfortable,   paid $100 for it, WITH insurance.  Estradiol acetate, which is the kind of estradiol provided in this ring, has to pass through the liver, which is an inefficient way for the body to absorb.  I expected better from Warner Chilcott.
I am returning to my compounded drops, one drop on the pulse, twice daily, $25 for a two month supply."
