The therapist suggested that I add Kindra vaginal moisturizer to my daily routine. I use Premarin vaginal cream twice a week and on the other days I apply Kindra. It has had a HUGE impact on our sex life. You can buy it from their website or on Amazon. Also, my gynecologist recommended that I use coconut oil as a lubricant during intimacy. I highly recommend both!!

Thank you so much for sharing your own experience, Barbara! Your story is similar to so many others that we have heard and read… that they wish they’d started on it sooner! Truly appreciate you sharing, and adding in the reminder to always talk to your doctor about what will work best for you. So glad to hear it has helped you through this journey. ~Team Busbee

Wish I had talked to people and doctors a lot earlier! If you are in good health and don’t have a medical history that includes breast cancer, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, or blood clots, I would highly recommend HRT – the earlier the better. Most of the info we have about hormones causing breast cancer is based on old research, and the hormone levels are negligible for that. HRT will make you feel better, your joints will hurt less, your skin will look better, and your vaginal tissue will become re-infused with moisture…..I wish I had done it 10 years ago! I’m 64 now – you can start whenever!!!!

What a huge difference it has made! Previously, sex had become painful and lubricants just weren’t doing the job. Absolutely no side effects. I only wish that I had started using it earlier!
