advice - Crinone gel

[mimi0809]

hello,

This is my first cycle, 4 days after 5d transfer. I haven't really obsessed about any of it and now, after reading a few posts, I feel a little "uninformed" or naive. I just went with advice from clinic which seem to be on need to know basis

I have a couple of questions maybe some of you can help:

- I have to use Crinone gel twice a day, I noticed from forum that you continue the gel after 2week pregnancy test if positive - is that correct? the clinic never mentioned it and i dont have enough to last me beyond it (fingers crossed). should i ring them?

- also no sign of the gel being messy or forming deposit after a week - I wonder am I doing it right? (I read stuff about "self cleaning and all ...)

Thanks for any advice - i am staying very calm, positive about the experience, if it works we will be over the moon but we know it's a long shot.

m.

Hi Mimi,

You will continue using the gel post a positive pregnancy test, and usually you will keep taking meds for up to 12 weeks post test date.

I also use the gel, sometimes its messy and other times not. I wouldnt worry too much, not sure if you could do it wrong.... but if you want to PM please feel free. I was told about cleaning out....i find it a bit weird as you put it up so high I'm not sure how you would scoop anything extra out anyway. Does that help? X

I guess I ll contact the clinic about more of the gel cause I have just enough til test day and it's a saturday.

thank you again!
