I ended an abusive marriage 3 yrs ago. There has been no man in my life so far. I have someone interested in me and we'll go out soon on a date. I asked my gyno which type of birth control I should go on as my ex had a vasectomy, He said no pills and prescribed some Estrace cream, Is that all I really need. I am having some premenopausal symptoms.

You will now be dating men that you don't know the past of. Only one birth control method makes sense: condoms. Even more so because there are no potential side effects for you.

NO>>>> Are you still having a Period? If so you can Still get Pregnant ... Estrace Cream is a Hormone Replacement Cream to help with your symptoms. It will not protect you from ANY Sexual Transmitted Disease.... With everything out there these days you can't take chances with you Life. It's hard to ask someone but if you two are really serious about being intimate with each you and him should go have blood tests done just to make sure you are both healthy.. HIV and types of Hepatitis is a big thing and you might not know you have a problem. These two stay hidden in your system for a long time and you really are unaware of the problem. If he really cares He will agree to go. There are free and confidential clinics you can go to.
Good Luck with your relationship.
But Seriously be cautious and use protection.

It should be all you need. It's better for you than taking a pill, that'll just mess up your hormones farther. Plus, you won't have to worry about a stupid little pill everyday. Don't worry about it, do your best to let go of the past, live your life, and don't ever look back, you'll regret the time you wasted if you do. Enjoy life now, if past experience is buggin you out, breathe through it and keep on truckin! :-)

estrace isn't going to stop a pregnancy, I suggest you ask for a diaphragm, use it with spermicidal jelly to prevent pregnancy or ask the gentelman to use a condom. Frankly, I'd insist he use a condom, I don't particulary want to sleep with everyone he's been into. At least not until I know him a great deal better and can be sure he is disease free.

you have to be careful because when you don't have sex for a long time your vaginal walls thin out, so you may bleed. Sex actually keeps your walls thick and strong. The estrace cream your doctor gave you was actually to try to prevent vaginal atrophy (thinning walls), NOT to keep you from getting preg.
