Cyclogest pessaries

[Sam101]

I just wanted to check with everyone if they used a pessary before their frozen embryo transfer? I was told yes by my clinic but have read on line an article that says no. Im concerned i may have messed things up now. i didnt have my transfer until 2pm in the afternoon and put the pessary in at 7.30 so i would like to think it would be pretty much gone by then but just hoping i havent ruined our chances now 😢 xx

I haven't had a frozen transfer, but I think taking the pessary is normal as it keeps the lining nice and thick and when I did fresh I was on the pessary, so I don't see the difference. Like you say it would have dissolved by that point anyway.

I really don't think you have ruined your chances. Good luck!

Thank you beebeestar. I feel alot better after you said that. I cant ruin our very final go, this has got to be our lucky little fighter xx

Yes you do take the pessary on day of transfer. They just like it to be in at least 2 hours before transfer to give it chance to absorb. They 'clean' the area prior to transfer to make sure it doesn't interfere with procedure xx

Thank you anna0908 that makes me feel much better. I think im just stressed as its our last one. Hoping this is our lucky one and we finally get our little family we have been trying so hard for. Xx

I've only had fresh embryo transfers but have always taken cycolgest before the transfer. This time round I was asked to take it for a few days before hand. The one I took before the transfer, I decided to take rectally or I know I would've been on a mission with a pack of baby wipes in the hospital trying to clean myself up lol!

Thanks mhairielaine. Just hope everything will be ok x

I'm sure it will, taking them before the transfer seems to be a standard thing which people are asked to do. Hope it all goes well and your 2WW goes as quickly as possible. Lots of luck x
