Did anyone else get thrush from the progesterone pessary? I’m starting to get really itchy!! And sometimes the pessary kinda stings. I’m worried I’m a bit allergic to it, and that can’t be good!
My doc told me to take canestan pessary for one night only ...but not the cream. But it’s the outside that’s itchy!
Can’t believe I’m writing this on a forum but I am!

Actually my egg collection was months ago, this progesterone is following at FET. But I’m on lubion progesterone shots AM & PM and lentogest progesterone every 3 days and cyclogest progesterone pessary AM & PM so it’s a lot!
Does that mean pregnancy test? Yes, I had that a week ago. So far so good (fingers crossed!), after a very long journey of 8 yrs I can’t quite bring myself to celebrate yet, I feel like I’m sitting on my hands!
That’s totally normal, the more days pass, the easier it gets. I’m 11 weeks now and I’m a little more relaxed but still struggle. Do you have your scan booked?x
Hi Winnie. Agree with KiboXX to take it rectally. It's not the nicest, but should give your your front a break and a chance to recover from the thrush symptoms. Hope you're feeling less itchy soon! xxx
Oh god yes and it's a symptom I was not expecting as it wasn't on the side effects info in the info paper. Cyclogest. It wasn't recommended to insert from behind for me only the front way.
