Yeah, totally normally. The waxy casing doesn't disintegrate. Just try not to go to the loo straight after, or you may not have time for it to absorb.

Ah bless you thanks for that! yes i make sure i dont go for at least an hour after ive inserted! but this was the first time that i had been since i started taking them. So havent had it before but make sense.

Is the wax coating then not the Progesterone itself then? just a coating?

I am currently taking cyclogest rectally and yes, the stuff that comes out is just the waxing, not the progesterone . Just make sure you don't pass a bowel movement straight after inserting (my clinic recommend 30mins). You may find you will get very constipated with them, the bloat is insane.

@01kate yep, just the coating!
