Cyclogest

I am having to take cyclogest 3 times a day following an FET. This time round the NHS nurse said studies have found vaginally is absorbed better than rectally and for the morning and afternoon I should insert vaginally. Is there a knack to this, I insert it as far as my finger will go, before I have even taken toilet paper to wipe, it's sliding out - I have to hold down there until I'm sat back down in case I lose it 🤣 I also do not have time to lay down for 20mins. I get up early enough and can't be taking 20mins off each time at work either. Im thinking of just sticking rectally, as there is nothing online saying vaginally is better. Please help 😂

Personally I found better results with rectally (backed by bloods) I found it caused dryness and cramping vaginally and so I decided to switch ☺️🫶🏻 Its completely up to you and what you feel comfy with, My clinic told me generally they prefer vaginally but medically there's no reason why it wouldn't boost the same x 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Dani That's for letting me know. I think I'll stick rectally. So much cleaning 😊

No worries good luck!!.. I honestly found it better and was boosted fine 😄🥰

Currently on the same schedule as you and I had forgotten how annoying these are! The nurse told me that it doesn't matter either way and rectally are less messy. I tried but they were giving me other side effects (more bloating and constipation) so I'm resorting to doing morning and evening vaginally because I can lie down, and the midday rectally. I find that there's no winning with these tiny evil things and there's no much scientifically to justify either way- or even to use them at all if you're doing a natural cycle!

@Vit I agree with the side effects rectally, the gas too 😂 I think if I can lay down, I'll go vaginally. I hate having to do it at work too!

Constipation was the evil for me!!... So in unfortunately an earlier pregnancy that failed, the progestrone got me so bad I thought I was eptopic, went to a&e and I laughed because 10hrs of waiting to realise it was a hugeeee poo stuck up there lol 🤣🤣🤣.. Mortified!
