OBGYN,  's  Response
Even though you still get a cycle, it is possible that with each month you are producing less estrogen. This begins to occur in your late 30's and early 40's.

Here are some options to consider if the problem is persistent:

1. Replens - this is a long-acting vaginal lubricant that helps to "hydrate" the vagina
2. E-string - a vaginal estrogen ring
3. Vagifem - a vaginal estrogen tablet

Wait for the results and see what you doctor says. I am sure that you will be able to find the cause and/or long term solution. Good luck!
