About a month ago I asked for suggestions, as I had tracked newly recurring flares to specific points in my cycle and Yasmin pill usage; second week of pills, about Wed-Thurs when bleeding started, flared, could get an instillation and calm 70% of it, but mild overactive pelvic nerve activity continued til first few days after resuming pill. I have a wonderful gynecologist, I drew up a chart showing the pattern of period, pill and flares for the last 4 months, with summary of symptoms - she asked a couple of questions, then said - well we have to fix this. You have been doing your research, what have you found out? We conferred, and I decided to try Ovcon only for a couple of months and see if the higher dose of estrogen and different progestin (Yasmin is unique) would help. Well, this time it was Monday of the second week, breakthrough bleeding (nice and red like a young body), and flare just starting. I could have waited to see if it got worse, but knew med insurance was changing (company buyout) soon, so went in for an installation anyway. Killed all symptoms until my true period started two days ago, and while the bladder doesn't hurt, the gotta goes tell me it is in flare.
So I called in, and now have Premarin to try too. But how does that compare to Estrace or other external cream? Does anyone have other suggestions, just in case? If the Ovcon did not work, could I go back to Yasmin? I would not miss the weight retention, was losing a pound a week until I started it....
