Horrible smell and progesterone

I am currently doing a FET (transfer was on Thursday) so in the dreaded 2ww. The waiting is terrible but I can deal with that (we have to be strong to get this far).

I'm currently taking:

Utrogestan 100mg X 6 a day (orally)

Progynova X5 a day (3 oral and 2 vaginally)

Crinone gell vaginally X2 day (that is making what can only be described as cottage cheese up there)

Lentogest/progesterone in oil 3 times a week (omg that hurts as intramuscular injection and hurts all day)

Plus also taking blood thinners (inhixa injection and aspirin) as family history of thrombosis.

Quite a bit every day and had to do whilst out and about which is always fun. My question is that have others been getting a horrible smell from the vag? It's not pleasant and not sure what to do to stop it.

Also, I'm getting really light headed all the time which I think is a side effect but hard to know.

Give your clinic a ring and speak to a nurse. I’d say with all the stuff you’re putting up there 🤣 it’s ok to ask . 😘My meds say you can get thrush or bacterial infection etc it’s not beyond comprehension that some sort of irritation has happened. Don’t leave it any later to ask though , go ring now and ask about yourself! You will settle your head once you have asked. I’m sure it’s not first time they’ve been asked! Hope it feels

Normal

Down there soon 😅

Rang the clinic and the utrogeston is the culprit for the dizziness. Nothing can be done for this so just got to deal with it.

The crinone gel is the smell. Have to go up and clean it out every few days in the shower.

I felt quite spaced out taking he urogestan orally. If you dont take them with food its not so bad! Can you not do the utrogestan vagonally too? Also crinone tends to build up quite bad in lumps, so try to self clean. Sorry if tmi! Keep an eye on that smell....juat in case it's an infection. I dont remember having a smell with the crinone.xx
