Spotting on progesterone applicator. 6 weeks pg. anyone had this?

[Ajbbaa]

I have been spotting on my pesarie applicator for the last three days in the evening pink. I’ve had one instance of slight pink on a liner and no more on wiping. It’s mostly only on the applicators. Has anyone had this? I’ve had two betas done due to this 23dpo/18dp5dt - 8099 25dpo/20dp5ft - 14475. I’m not due for a scan till 7 weeks 4 days but wondering if I should try and get one earlier for some reassurance. Any help would be appreciated xx

Pessaries can irritate the cervix and applicators can scratch the vaginal wall. You could try inserting the pessaries all the way in with a finger instead as they will sit slightly lower and with less trauma to the vagina. But, you should also speak to your clinic for advice ASAP and if the bleeding increases call your local EPU. Spotting in early pregnancy is common and often nothing to worry about so try not to get too worried. I spotted a few days after BFP, which inserting pessaries with a finger stopped, and at 8 weeks that stopped after 24h with no obvious cause and no negative outcome Xx

Thank you so much for replaying. I have been telling my clinic which is why they have got me in for blood tests so far. They aren’t so worried as it’s not a lot of red blood but will try and get in for an earlier scan. Xx

I had brown spotting with my pessary as well, I called my doctor and she upped my progesterone and told me it's probably due to irratation from inserting the pessary vaginally for 2 weeks and I can switch to anal and I did and the spotting stopped

Thank you so much for replying. Mine is pink but only on the applicator and only on my evening one which is weird. No spotting any other time. I’ll speak to my clinic tomorrow and see if I can switch thank you.

I also had this and it was suggested to me that it could be the pessaries. But I was also scanned by the EPU for reassurance so it’s worth asking if you can have a scan to check things are ok - the chances are they are (spotting at this stage is not uncommon) but it’s good to have the reassurance xx

Thank you for coming back to me. I have another blood test booked with my clinic tomorrow so I will ask them if they can get me in for an earlier scan xx

Hi, I’m also having spotting on my pessary applicator and on my liner. Has been a mix of brown and some pink. My clinic have not offered any blood tests so debating whether to do another pregnancy test. My scan is on the 2nd. I have read it could be an irritated cervix from the pessaries, this could be the case for you? Fingers crossed for both of us, I understand your anxiety as I’m there with you xx
