I'm 49 and female. I have not had in 3 yrs but I might in the near future.?

I ended an abusive marriage 3 yrs ago. There has been no man in my life so far. I have someone interested in me and we'll go out soon on a date. I asked my gyno which type of birth control I should go on as my ex had a vasectomy, He said no pills and prescribed some Estrace cream, Is that all I really need. I am having some premenopausal symptoms.
