To be worried about the canesten pessary I've just used?

[Sweetsformysweeet]

I’ve NC for this but I’m a regular on here.

I’ve got a bout of thrush just now and I tend to find the pessary works best for me.

I had a spare one in the cupboard as this is a recurring issue for me. The box was a little squashed in places. I opened the box which was definitely completely unopened. I took out the foil tray and the foil was broken with the pessary exposed. I wasn’t worried about using it since the outer box was completely sealed and I’m sure the foil would have been damaged when the box got bashed a bit. Since using it, I’ve started worrying incase that was a bad idea and incase the pessary could have been tampered with in any way.

I suffer from anxiety so I have no idea if I’m being rational or if this is my anxiety getting the better of me.

YABU - It will be fine

YANBU - I shouldn’t have used it

Thanks all.

It's your anxiety taking. I have it too so I recognise it.

Tampered with? What/ why would anyone do anything to a thrush pessary?!

Yabu, made me giggle though.

It will be fine. Just damaged in the box.

Thank you. I know this probably seems like the worlds most stupid thread but I can’t differentiate between my rational thinking and my anxiety. I can now go to sleep without feeling worried ☺️ Thank you.

Don't worry, it's all anxiety talking. The worst that will happen is it will be a little less effective because it isn't foil fresh anymore. Enjoy your sleep!

It's your anxiety talking and it's fine. Not that I can talk, I just spent the last hour worrying that DS has something awful when in reality he just has a cough and a temperature. Anxiety is horrible, I hope you're ok
