Hello. Welcome to Just Answer and thank you for your question.

The most common side effect reported with ovestin use is mild vaginal burning upon application. This sensation typically goes away after the first day or two of treatment.

I do not think that your symptoms are due to the cream.

You should rather check your gall badder and kidneys considering the nausea, stomach and back pain.

Regarding the breast tenderness could be due to costochondritis.
