Hi. I've anecdotally heard that progesterone helps post-op vaginal dryness. That seems contradictory as I always thought progesterone was closer to testosterone than oestrogen. Yet this one lady swears blind by progesterone. She even says oestrogen creams didn't help her moistness. I'm so confused, as a few postop women have told me oestrogen cream did help their vaginal dryness.
I'm thinking surely oestrogen would help more with vaginal dryness than progesterone but I have no direct experience of either Does anyone: (a) have any experience/thoughts etc on progesterone aiding dryness? and (b) have any experience (or knowledge) with oestrogen vaginal creams to help dryness? There are several creams aimed at helping GGs with dryness but would/do they work in transwomen? I am aware that we do not possess the same 'receptors' as a GG. Any help greatly received.
