Hi all,
I am using Crinone once a day and am 9 weeks pregnant. Recently, however, when I’ve been inserting the applicator, it has been a struggle to push it in. It’s painful and feels like it’s pushing through something, or somethings blocking its way. With a bit of wiggling I can fully insert it but not without pain. Any advice? Xx
I didn’t get on at all with inserting vaginally, too sore, painful and irritating for me. Ask if you can insert them rectally? I inserted my Cyclogest 400 pessaries anally and blood tests proved they were absorbed v well!
I could...im not using pessaries though, it’s a gel so I don’t know if it would work the same? Xx
Oh I see! If you’re struggling definitely get some advice! There must be an non irritating alternative. Good luck x
Im on utrogestan with applicators and i find that when inserting them, if you constantly twist the applicator all the way in, it doesn't feel uncomfortable or hurt. I was finding a bit of resistance without twisting and it felt as it the applicator was scratching its way in 😖 xx
Have you been having a ‘clear out’ whilst using the crinone? It can get a bit blocked and clumpy up there so my clinic advised me to do so every other day, I always found inserting a lot easier then x
Great advice from E_05 . I found that I had loads of residue up there and that could defo be causing issues. Having a regular clean out may help!xx
Hi cinderlella.... how do i have a clear out? I can feel or the residue?? Thank you
Sorry if this is tmi but just in the shower with your fingers!🙈 It tends to come out in clumps. Apologies for the tough reading!!xx
Ohh i see... is this with the pessaries as well... when i insert i can literally feel them up therw 🙈🙈
Yes exactly the same! You get a build up but your body takes what it needs after around 20mins to half an hour....the rest is just left over!xx
Ahh thx for the advice... i didnt have a clue... and i noticed when i put it in it wanted to come out as if it couldnt go in anymore 🙈
No worries....nobody in the clinic tells us this stuff and we so need to know....even if it does seem a bit tmi!! Ha ha ha xx
Lol... 😂😂xx
I’ve not been feeling like it can’t get up, but I am very prone to pain during internals and even often during s*x. I have endo on my cervix. Twice now I’ve started to feel that old familiar pain when inserting Crinone. I don’t know what to do if some day I just can’t go through with it? I nearly felt that way this morning. Do they have tablet alternatives? I saw someone talking about Rectally further down comments and nope nope not gonna happen!
