Cyclogest getting harder to insert

[SoOverThisCrap]

I'm 5 weeks pregnant and I've been using Cyclogest pessaries for about two weeks due to recurring miscarriages. The first couple of weeks I was fine inserting them but over the last couple of days I've found it more difficult, when I put the pessary up there (vaginally) it feels a lot thicker inside (tmi but only way to describe it) so it doesn't slide in as easily and I have to shove it up there. This morning's one was so tricky it fell out! Has anyone else had this? I read it can be to do with the thickening of the womb lining, which I hope is a good sign or that things are just swelling in that area in general due to pregnancy?

Yes OP, also had this issue although I'd been on them for probably 4 weeks before I found them tough to get in! I even had slight spotting after one that was particularly difficult! I persevered and it didn't get any worse...was then able to stop them at 8 weeks

Hi OP I really didn’t get on with taking cyclogest vaginally either.
I recommend taking them rectally instead. They can be taken either way and although it can seem a bit icky to swap at first the side effects were SO much better.

Best of luck, hope everything works out well for you.

@cherrytreecottage thank you for replying, I'm glad it's not just me! It really made me wince putting it in this morning. Hopefully it won't get any worse. I have a scan on 7th Feb so hopefully after that I won't need them any more 🤞🙏

@RiverRiot I'm nervous about taking them rectally but I have read that it's easier and less messy so I'll see how I get on vaginally and if it's still uncomfortable to do then I'll have to switch 😱

Why are you nervous about doing them rectally?

@Garman just because it's sticking something up my bum! 🤣😂
