Hello. Its my 17 day of embryo transfr. I performed blood test to chck my pregnancy it was positive. But i still hv spotting. What to do with it? Hw to prevent this condition?

Hi Rose. Oh dear! If you are using progesterone pessaries vaginally, they can cause irritation and a little bleeding. If this is the case, then try using them in your back passage to give your vagina a rest. If it keeps up then see your GP. Good luck! Diane

Dear any ointment to treat this irritation?

Hi Canestan should do the trick. If it continues, have a word with your GP. Diane

How long should i use the pessaries? As its 3rd week of my pregnancy through IVF.

Hi Rose. Clinic recommendations differ, but they average using the pessaries for up to 12 weeks of pregnancy. Check with your clinic and see what they recommend. Diane
