Utrogestan - rectal or vaginal?

[pregnancydiaries]

Hello ladies,

I am 8 weeks pregnant and have been prescribed Utrogestan due to a bleeding and previous MC.

The instructions say to use these vaginally, but for a variety of reasons I'd rather take these rectally.

I know other progesterone can be taken rectally but looking to see if anyone has taken this specific brand via this route?

TIA!

Xx

I was told by my fertility clinic specifically not to use these rectally. I normally had cyclogest (and still on it until 36 weeks) which I always use rectally. Can you check with your midwife / consultant?
