I found a great vaginal lubricant called "me again".  Its made with alot of natural things hops being one of them.  I used it yesterday (after feeling very burny itchy) and it helped me alot.  I was really surprised.  They sell the whole line near me at CVS.  I didnt use the daytime pill formula because it contained black cohosh etc.  I hear that mimics estrogen?  Anyway the lubricant worked well.

    "Me Again" does contain phytoestrogens..according to literature from company. So, if you are hormone positive you may want to discuss this product w/ her/him before using...

    This brings up a question I've had for some time about phytoestrogens, or plant estrogens.  This is what is in soy products.

    About 15 years ago, it was advised for hormone positive women to use soy products because it was believed that the plant estrogens in them competed for receptor sites on cells, leaving less room for natural, people estrogens.  The plant estrogens were not thought to have the same effect as human hormones on cells in promoting cancerous growth.

    Over the past several years, it seems that people are lumping (no pun intended) both types of estrogen together in their ability to promote the growth of cancerous cells.  What is the real deal or is it even known for sure?

    As I recall, the last word was NO photoestrogens.  they feed bc just as reg. estrogen does.

    I have to reread the ingredients.  It figures!!!!  Its working very well and I have not felt this good in a long time.  I think its a quality of life issue for me.  It was happening waaayyy to often and I just could not take it anymore.  I am in my first week with it.  7 days straight and then twice a week thereafter.  I also use the Vagifem 3x's a week.  I am ER positive.  I use Arimidex.  I had my ovaries removed.  I see the onc this coming thursday.  I will discuss it with him.
