yes! i couldn't insert things into me without bleeding (very scary) and i got my first ever UTI. i knew i could do a vaginal estrogen cream or tablet, but since i also wanted to stop my periods (im on finasteride to prevent hair loss, so i expected to get my periods even while on t) and birth control is free under almost all insurances through the Affordable Care Act, i got on Nuvaring. annovera is the other vaginal birth control ring. i love it so much. no more atrophy and no feminizing for me
