Women Question Topic: Menopause

My doctor has prescribed Osphena for my vaginal dryness (I am 62) but it isn’t covered by my insurance and is too expensive. My insurance does cover Vagifem. What’s the opinion on Vagifem vs Osphena?

I’m 51 and still getting my period. I know that to “officially” be in menopause my period I have to go a year without having one. My question is could I experience menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, etc) even though I’m still getting my period?
