Cyclogest 400mg- do I need to put another one in?

[Nix321]

Hi,

I normally have my “routine” down to a T but as it’s the weekend I work up little later and did it 30 minutes after I normally would.... but my concern is, I use the back passage and I then required a motion 15 minutes later (I really couldn’t hold it any longer) ... my question is, this happened once before and I read it normally takes 30 minutes to absorb so I put another in but then I starting bleeding (about 2 weeks ago now) so unsure if this is best or not?

I am currently 6 weeks and having my scan is booked for 7.5 weeks with the clinic. Also, my clinic has declined doing any blood work as they said it’s not needed so don’t know my beta or progesterone levels! I also noted other people are on injections and pessarys more frequently than me. So can you have too much progesterone??

Do you think i should put another one in (or even 1/2) or would this do more harm than good?

Hey lovely.

I’d put another in, it won’t do any harm. My gynaecologist said to always wait to insert if you know for certain you’re going to have a bowel movement so for her to say that, I’d take it that it’s not absorbed in time.

Good luck with your pregnancy & congratulations 😘

Thank you.

I’m normally have a routine (wake up 6:30am, gone by 7am and then I do it) but as I woke up late I was worried doing to too late so did it without “waiting” for my motion. I have decided to put another in. Thank you for your quick response. 😊

The weekend completely throws me out too!

You’re very welcome ☺️xxx

Hi, if it was me I would put another in just to be on the safe side. If it was 15 mins after it won't quite have absorbed. I don't believe it would do you any harm x

[Nix321 in reply to KayCan]

Thank you. I’m going to put another one in.

This happened to me a couple of times. I used another with no problems xx

[Nix321 in reply to Solly-44]

Ok, thank you. I’ve put another in.

Not sure about an extra dose, but for future, I put my alarm on for 6am and 10pm to make sure that I dont miss mine. Is there any reason you cant take via front passage?x

[Nix321 in reply to Florencenightingale]

I have my alarm set for 7am and 7pm, but I must have slept through it. Still done it (first one, before 7:30am). I find the front is very messy with the wax that comes out so trying the back.

I prefer the back too...tried in the front...just couldn't do it.
