Thrush pessary on pregnancy?. I used the canesten pessary prescribed by my gp.

Whilst using the pessary I was having a few problems trying to get it in place and inserting into my vagina (sorry for tmi) and it dropped of the applicator on my bed and got a few, I'd call it cotton of the bed, but there wasn't loads and I didn't notice till I started inserting, will it be alright?, I'm guessing it will as of sex, and fluff from boys trackies sometimes get on there!, am I just over worrying?, I'm 18 weeks and 5 days pregnant.

Hi there, It is safer to push the pessarie without applicator when pregnant. Hope the thrush goes away! Goodluck :)

Hi you should be fine I waa given the pessary but told not to use the applicator as women sometimes push it to far up.

I used applicator pushed it in about 3mm which is bout the length of my finger anyway, and I've woken up with wetness in my underwear that normal?

Do you mean 3cm?
