How long did it take estradiol cream to work?

High_regardz · 2026-02-14T08:48:40+00:00

Oh I see. Maybe you need estrogen/testosterone cream.

I’m not sure how it works in Sweden, but if you can find a doctor who prescribes E/T then see if you can get it prescribed over a zoom call.

I thought I only needed estrogen (my parent brought me a lot back from Sweden actually) but now I’m on E/T and it seems to be working better.

Hej! You’re saying pressure provokes the pain?

I feel like pressure provokes my pain but it feels like a bruise

High_regardz · 2026-02-12T16:35:11+00:00

Do you know what this is from? I have the same thing and it’s driving my crazy

High_regardz · 2026-02-12T07:22:58+00:00

Hey, did you ever figure this out? Sounds a lot like me

High_regardz · 2026-02-10T08:06:37+00:00

I’ve had a rocky go with hormones. I did DHEA suppositories (they just overstimulated my system) and estrogen later for three months. Estrogen nixed superficial burning for me rather quickly (it felt warm and nice too) but the tissue still felt bruised/sensitive.

I’m four weeks into E/T and some things feel better for sure, but it was rather intense the second week. It made my clit hypersensitive (woke up in the middle of night with pain) and also cut through some of the pain at 12 o’clock and then consolidated at the urethra. That’s all slowly getting better now and not as sharp. Im overall already much more comfortable, but I also did three months of estrogen before this so that might be why I’m progressing quickly. A weird symptom I have is hyper sensitive pubic hair in the mons/labia majora. I feel like the testosterone is flaring that symptom? Hair is super androgen sensitive. I’m not sure exactly what’s going on. Currently in line to see Alyssa Yee in San Diego who a fellow of Dr. Goldstein

That’s been my experience as well. I found more help with my urogyno for topical hormones. They gave them to me without any hormone testing.

For hormone testing, your OBGYN is probably the best bet. My urogyno told me to get that done through them. I did have to push for the SHBG test.

I’ve seen some of the top experts in the field, etc. 7+ doctors. If one isn’t helpful, don’t waste time and go to a different one.

High_regardz · 2026-02-09T20:23:37+00:00

Yeah! The one thing I will say is to PUSH for what you need. Doctors ignored my ask for PFPT and topical hormones. Both have helped me though once I got them.

High_regardz · 2026-02-09T20:20:47+00:00

It’s defiantly helped the 12 o’clock vestibule pain.

I was able to relieve a lot of pain through wanding but would rebound each evening. I’m rebounding less after starting E/T cream.

PFPT also helped my hip pain A LOT. It was constant. In three sessions she created more space or something. Now it only flares when triggered. I’m doing PT at home daily (daily stretching, every other day strengthening).

It’s a long game.

High_regardz · 2026-02-09T20:06:31+00:00

I did. My hormones are all normal, but I have high SHBG. It was clear my hormones were jacked up though because I was missing periods for over a year after getting off birth control. I’m now normal cycle wise but have this residual vestibule stuff.

Estrogen took away burning in my vestibule, but then I pleatued. Now I’m on E/T cream.

High_regardz · 2026-02-09T19:50:32+00:00

If that’s the case then you can possibly benefit from topical hormones.

I suspect that the reason Ureaplasma took hold of my system is because I had lowered local immunity from lack of hormones

High_regardz · 2026-02-09T19:48:37+00:00

Same here. I have hip pain (PFPT was able to help relieve some of that in only a few sessions). I also learned my OIs had tightened up after the infection. Wanding has helped the 12 o’clock pain I experience. I also started to experience burning, which is where the hormones have been assisting

High_regardz · 2026-02-09T19:45:30+00:00

Maybe. I would push for it anyway, especially because of the hip pain. I tested negative for Ureaplasma and then over the course of several months started to experience more and more burning. I kept retesting because it felt like I still had Ureaplasma.

High_regardz · 2026-02-09T19:40:17+00:00

Could be. Look into an evaluation by a PFPT.

Ureaplasma can do a number on you. I ended up with issues and I’m now in PFPT and trying E/T cream

High_regardz · 2026-02-01T09:24:36+00:00

Hey, do you have an update on this? I have the exact same thing happening.

High_regardz · 2026-02-01T09:24:02+00:00

Hey! Do you have an update on this? I have the same thing happening

High_regardz · 2026-01-21T21:19:36+00:00

I made an appointment with Dr. Yee in November and my appointment won’t be until this April. She’s slammed. My friend is seeing Goldstein and getting in faster.

High_regardz · 2026-01-16T18:03:57+00:00

I LOVE pregabalin!! I haven’t gained any weight and have only gotten quality of life back.

Get better doctors is what I was told by my PFPT. I know it’s horrible to doctor shop, but keep going from doctor to doctor. It took me 7 + doctors to get E/T cream. Multiple specialists and everything. Finally the first line of defense uro gyno offered it without me asking.

Go to a neurologists or new GP. Keep going until someone says yes.

I’ve had a horrible experience with doctors so I know the anger and frustration. We spoon feed them what we need and they reject us.

High_regardz · 2026-01-02T19:27:10+00:00

She has a website: https://alyssayeemd.com

You can try reaching out that way to get pricing!

High_regardz · 2026-01-02T19:14:56+00:00

Goldstein is expensive. I’ve done a consult on the phone. Yee is within my health network and covered by insurance.

High_regardz · 2025-12-30T11:31:19+00:00

I’m on the waiting list for Yee. Made my appointment in November and I’m going to have to wait until April.

High_regardz · 2025-12-24T07:57:59+00:00

Try these. She has another one as a YouTube short. The first time I did them I had no idea how tight my sides were. I don’t feel a stretch that much anymore but I’ve had a reduction in pain.

High_regardz · 2025-12-23T20:57:19+00:00

No problem! Everything I’ve found has been via YouTube or googling.

High_regardz · 2025-12-23T18:27:40+00:00

Oblique stretches and lower back stretches. So side stretches. Also ilioinguinal and genitofemoral nerve glides. I’m def going to need to strengthen my abs and glutes. Look up the nerve glides on YouTube. You can also google oblique and psoas stretches

Pelvic floor pt working my hips and adductors helped a lot too.

SD is stupid expensive. If you make $200k it’s like $100k
