I'm worried that i might have done something wrong. This whole process is so stressful for all of us . good job we do it and not the men lol xx

A lot of places you only need to use the pessaries for 14 days, a lot of clinics let you use it for 3 months as a support in case your body doesn't produce enough progesterone. I forgot completely twice during the 2ww. And it ended up okay, I called my clinic and the nurse kinda laughed at me because I was so worried. At least you were only an hour and half!

A lot of women prefer to wander about after as opposed to lying down.

My notes said to just take it as soon as u remember but to call if miss two. You haven't missed any so will be ok. I was within an hour or two slot taking mine depending what time I went to bed. I think lying down helps it to absorb rather than leak out but a one off will be ok. I'm 5 months pregnant now with first I've cycle. Good luck!! Xx

Hi sjamalou. That's not a problem. As someone else has said, just carry on as soon as you remember. regarding leakage etc. the drug is absorbed within the fist 20-30 minutes of insertion, so the "waxy" stuff that leaks out is just the substance the drug is inserted in. All the best with your ongoing pregnancy. Won't be long to your first scan - how exciting is that? Diane
