🚀 Can anyone recommend an applicator for Utrogestan 100mg vaginally?

[Blanketpolicy]

I have tried inserting with my finger and find it awkward to get it in far enough.

I have tried sticking on the end of my Ovestin applicator, but it seems to burst/dissolve during insertion and the applicator comes out smeared with a fair bit of the oil from inside the capsule so I am not getting the full dose.

I think I need an applicator the capsule inserts fully into so it is not getting bumped around (I seem to have a few twists and turns en route to cervix 😳) and bursting during insertion.

The good news is 4 days in I already feel less tired than before (hopefully it is not coincidence!)

Does anyone use an applicator for the 100mg round utrogestan capsules they can link to/recommend. I see lots on Amazon but reviews are varied. Thank you.

Can you ask the pharmacist? I take it orally but a recent box came with an applicator included (which I don’t need).

There are none.

There is an applicator with the 200mgs capsule of Utrogestan (but that's licensed for fertility, unless your Dr would prescribe off-licence.)

I've got those applicators and even when using them with a 200mgs capsule they weren't much fun. I abandoned them.

They don't work very well for 100mgs capsules because they capsules are smaller and don't come out.

Try with your finger- are you lying down and maybe tilting your bum a bit higher?

Thanks for the replies.

I tried again last night with the Ovestin applicator, with a more tilted bum as suggested and tried to do as quickly as possible so it didn't have time to start dissolving which it seems to do it really quicky - perhaps I have a particularly corrosive environment where they dissolve in seconds! 😳

Maybe it is the heat and I could keep them in the fridge door so they are chilled and don't warm up/dissolve as quickly 🤔 Will need to check if they can be stored in the fridge!

EDIT: Just checked they are do not refrigerate so bang goes that idea.
