Utrogestan pessaries question?

So I’ve only done two so far and they haven’t been messy or anything like I’ve read and heard. After putting each one in I laid down for half an hour (as directed by my clinic) and I’ve only had a bit of discharge mainly when I went to to toilet.

Am I doing it wrong? Should there be more mess? Am I worried about nothing? Haha

Well done. Not long to go now. With regards to the discharge, it will come don't worry. I do the same as you and mine mostly comes out not too long after but I am not always sat on the loo when the gush comes (sorry if tmi but to me it feels a little like that and gives me a right panic each and every time).

I recall this time around that it wasn't too bad at first but seems to build.

Good luck xx

No. You’re doing fine. The utrogestan, I found, because of the applicator, were just generally less messy to use xx

They’re different to cyclogest though. Cyclogest are white. Cyclogest seems to be the go to if it isn’t utrogestan. I really wouldn’t worry that you’re not doing it right, honestly I think utrogestan are just a bit less messy xx

Sounds about right to me, sometimes nothing and sometimes there’s some discharge, deffo advise on panty liners at all times though unless you want to buy a loaf of new undies! Good luck x

Haha I’ll have to stock up. Thank you x

Might also depend on how many you use... I use 2 pessaries three times a day, I definitely need (thick-ish) pantyliners and change them 2-3 times a day as the gunk can pass through them and stain eben your trousers or skirt.. i managed to stain the office chair 😣 Have fun...

If they are anything like the cyclogest then I get days when there is loads of mess and days when there’s hardly any. You def want the long the panty liners with 3 drops on them. I recommend the bodyform ones as they feel a bit more like you’ve just got pants on compared to the always ones. On the days when I’ve had a fair bit of mess and worn normal length ones that aren’t quite so absorbent I’ve definitely noticed and not in a good way 🙈 xx

So far so good only a little bit, but I’m only on my fourth tablet. Fun times ahead haha 😂 xx

Haha! Definitely!

It hasn’t been too bad overall for me and I’ve only really started noticing over the last week or so it getting more frequently messy and I’ve been using them for nearly 6 weeks. I do only use one a day though. Xx

Oh wow, I’m on twice a day at the moment until my pregnancy blood test on the 19th. Xx

Ah good luck for your test! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I’m on cyclogest until I’m 12 weeks from the point I found out I was pregnant as I’ve had two miscarriages and it was suggested by the early pregnancy unit that they might help this time around. Xx
