I've used many types of creatine, including creatine monohydrate, Kre-Alkalyn, Con-Cret, creatine ethy-ester, phosphocreatine, creatine nitrate, creatine HCl, etc.; not to mention different products inclusive of creatine, either straight creatine products or ones that just include it, and even creatine products with additional benefits and properties.
Creatine has never negatively affected me. When I was back home for years I had weekly bloods done, so I was able to monitor this to some degree. The ONLY type of creatine that negatively affected my bloods was creatine ethyl-ester (i.e. the original NeoVar) - look through my initial logs for this (you can find links to all my forum logs
HERE); although, that said, it had no impact on my performance, etc. I currently use Assault, which contains several types of creatine (creatine monohydrate, Con-Cret, and Creatine HCl), and have no issues with this. Regardless of what type of creatine I have used, or what form (i.e. powder or capsule), I don't experience any bloating, nausea, etc., and I unlike many, even if preparing for something like a photoshoot or leaning down, I continue to use it.
The best "creatine" products that I have ever used are Cre-02, NeoVar Recomped, and Kre-Alkalyn (the former two having additional benefits). I haven't used a specific creatine product since I began using Assault though, as it contains creatine; and also since using Assault, I only have creatine PRE-training - before that I used to split my daily dosage into pre AND post-training - and really find no difference in how I used it before.
Hope that helps (not that a woman would have a difference experience with it than a male, since it doesn't affect hormones, etc., and if it did, I wouldn't be the right person to ask, since, due to personal factors, my body does not respond as it "should" to most products).
