FAQs: Oestra® and Postpartum

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Can I get pregnant while taking Oestra®?

Yes. Oestra™ is not birth control and it’s possible to get pregnant while on it. It is not for use during a known or suspected pregnancy. We recommend non-oral forms of birth control (such as an IUD) if you are sexually active and not trying to conceive.

I'm experiencing hair shedding. Can Oestra® help?

Yes, Oestra® is indicated for postpartum symptoms including hair shedding, which is often caused by the dramatic drop in hormone levels after childbirth.

Will I have withdrawal symptoms if I stop the cream to have my period?

It is possible to have PMS-like symptoms such as headache, insomnia, anxiety, or low energy. These typically subside once you resume Oestra®.

How long should I wait before having intercourse after applying?

Four hours is recommended to ensure full absorption
