SUGGESTED USE FOR PREMENSTRUAL CYCLE:
Using the cyclic schedule (FIGURE 2), Day 1 is the first day of menstrual flow. Although the time of ovulation varies from woman to woman, the time from ovulation to menstruation is generally 12-14 days. For example, in a 28 day cycle, ovulation usually occurs on Day 14. If you have a 35 day cycle, ovulation generally occurs around Day 21. You will want to use FemRite™ from ovulation until just before the onset of your period.
At the onset of menopause, estrogen and progesterone production by the ovaries tapers off and many women experience symptoms such as vasomotor flushes (hot flashes), night sweats, mood changes, and vaginal dryness and/or discomfort. Many women also experience irregular periods. The same symptoms may occur after hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) and/or oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries), which are sometimes referred to as "surgical menopause." All women experience menopause differently. Some women will need to use more FemRite™ creme than others. The correct amount of FemRite™ for one woman is not necessarily the right amount for another. We recommend using the following schedule (FIGURE 3) as a guide, adjusting it to meet your personal needs:
