Are There Any Side Effects From Using Vagifem Cream?

I am 49, a brain aneurysm survivor 11 years, and had hysterectomy done 9 years ago. Recently started vagifem for vaginal dryness (frequent urinary infections after having sex). I am active, I exercise 5 times a week (yoga). I am worried a bit about vagifem and the possible side effects, but my sex life was going downhill and I have tried Refresh and lots of different lubricants, but they didn t work quite well. I have started 2 weeks ago, I have mild headaches and mild abdominal pain, but I do feel as my libido is increasing and that I am not as dry as before. Still, is vagifem the right solution for me? (I still have the ovaries).
