Anyone else have spotting on Vagifem ?

I started vagifem about 5 or 6 weeks ago. 2 weeks loading dose and then twice a week.
With the last two doses I’ve had very light spotting the next day. Is this quite common ?
(oh and as I’m asking - a lot of the pessary seems to come out the next day as bright white discharge… is that right ?)

I've had it about the same amount of time but I am still having periods as normal so no spotting here.
I haven't seen any signs of the pessary once it's in, no residue at all.

Sorry I should have said - it's at least two years since my last period.

That's interesting that you aren't getting the discharge from the pessary (I'm guessing that's what is - don't get it on other days.) Maybe I'm not absorbing it all fully at the moment.

I'm wondering whether you are quite dry up there and hence some of the pessary is coming out the next day. It might be worth using a vaginal moisturiser a couple of hours before you insert the pessary to see if that makes a difference.

I don't know about the spotting I'm afraid.

Thank you @arejcenencehche3uh9f3 I'll have a look into that
