Cyclogest pesseries

Hi All, here i am again!

I have a few questions about the above offenders 🤣

1 - how far is far enough (if that makes sense) 🙈 had a bit of mess on the old knicker crotch this morning, hoping I've applied it far enough in!

2 - do I need to lie down for around 20-30mins after using up the front bum (charming, I know) i was able to lie down after it today, unsure of other days, especially when working.

3 - how long after can I shower?

Give me injections any day over these 😆

Hope everyone is well xxx

Hahaha. Front bum. I used the back door. No mess or lying down required. They also aggravated me vaginally. I inserted them as far as I could with my finger. Also I would set my alarm in the morning put it in and then have an extra twenty mins in bed....I never get up on first alarm anyway. Good luck xxx

Thanks lovemylion, im debating the back door as I've heard its less fuss. I just don't like the idea of anything up my bum 🙈 xx

[Lovemylion in reply to Melonay1987]

Hahaha. You don't have to push them as far up as you would vaginally. And it feels bit weird at first but then they soon melt and u don't really feel any different after about 5 mins. One word of advice...Don't mention it to your partner as you don't want him getting any ideas. 🙄😂xx

I definitely think I'm going to give the bum a go tonight 🤣 haha I'm in a same sex relationship so no worries in that department 🤣😆xx

[Lovemylion in reply to Melonay1987]

Hahaha. You won't regret it 🤣 o well in that case looks like your off the hook.... 😂 Xxx

[Melonay1987 in reply to Lovemylion]

Ill let you know how I get on....I think the back way is best by the sounds of it. Thanks 😊 xx

Hey Melonay1987 I tried to put them in vaginally but even after lying down for 45 mins it still made a right mess, that I was worried I wasn’t absorbing them enough. I was scared about putting up my bum but I tell you what after a few goes, you just get used to it & far less messy! Xx

[Melonay1987 in reply to Nmhbaxy]

Hi Nmhbaxy , thats what I'm worried about, whether the mess meant its not been absorbed properly. I might just give the bum a go tonight! See how it goes xx

First cycle I went vaginally as it just felt weird putting them up my bum but it was messy. This time round I’ve gotten other the weirdness of putting something up my bum and definitely prefer it. Don’t have to lie down after and can just get on with things straight away with no mess.

[Melonay1987 in reply to skitten]

I'm definitely swaying towards the bum now, going to try it tonight, im sure it will be fine, im like you just find it a bit weird xx thank you

Hi, I’ve used them a few times and always find when I use them vaginally they’re not absorbed properly as there’s still some left in my underwear or when I go toilet. So I tried the bum and there’s no mess. The nurses say use whichever way you feel comfortable as they both go to the same place.

[Melonay1987 in reply to JustAGirl21]

Fab, thank you....Reading everyone's comments is definitely confirming I need to try the bum! Xx

[FrancyItaly]

I use them vaginally and stay in bed for as long as I can but at least 30 minutes. It is messy but not a big problem, maybe you can wear a pad x

[Melonay1987 in reply to FrancyItaly]

Thank you just picked some pads up today xx

[KiboXX]

As someone who must have used thousands of those little buggers over my cycles, go for the bum. So much easier, you won’t regret it! X

[Melonay1987 in reply to KiboXX]

Thanks Kibo, will definitely try the bum tonight xx

Ah this made me laugh.. they’re awkward little things to apply aren’t they!

I haven’t tried the back passage, I’m not sure I can bring myself to do it which is crazy given everything we put ourselves through during this process..

I use them front passage, I squat and I stick them as far up as I can go and then I sit with my legs up or lay down for up to an hour! There’s been a couple of occasions where I’ve felt I’ve leaked too much, so with advice from my consultant I’ve then put another one in a few hours later just incase!

Good luck if you’re going to try the back passage .. sounds like this is the preferred way for many! Maybe I’ll give it a go with my next cycle! Xx

[Melonay1987 in reply to XOXO13]

Ah bless you. I'm so worried I won't absorb them through the front, felt a bit like too much came out this morning. So I'm gonna to try the back tomorrow xxx

Best of luck! Xx
