I took it twice a week. I never did the loading dose either. I took it for a little over a year. I never thought the vagifem was giving me the headaches. Once I contacted me doctor, they told me yes, this could happen. So I dropped back to once a week. The headaches were less but still there and throbbing so I just stopped! I got tired of it:(.

Hi
Were you ever on HRT? My urologist put me on the vagifem originally because I have had so many bladder infections in the last year I'm 65. My new general practitioner just changed my dose because she said it's causing the problems I'm having so I'm off at right now going to restart next week and do it Monday and Thursdays and then if I get the issues I was having back I will just try once a week but since I am now on tamoxifen 5mg I'm hoping I can stay on it
