Pessary internal cream

it shouldn’t cause any blood, i’ve had the pessary several times and it’s never caused me to bleed or caused blood. it is so scary the first time, but what i did was i read the instructions so thoroughly and carefully. I then made my partner read the instructions thoroughly and carefully. i then made my partner insert it 🤣🤣 it was easier as he could see better and i was too scared to do it myself. i have done it myself a few times since then, but it just takes practice and getting used to xxx

@Sinead I don’t have a partner so have to do it myself, I just don’t want it causing harm to my baby is all that’s all I’m worried about 🙈

I’ve had a yeast infections a couple times off the back of taking antibiotics for a uti during pregnancy. I’ve had to insert the pessary for it & it’s really not as bad as you think! No blood should occur by inserting it. As the doctor told me, If you can have sex during pregnancy you can insert pessarys😊 Hope you managed to get sorted x

@Jess gosh i’m sorry !! okay well i’ve done it a few times myself, it is scary but remember baby is pretty safe in there! one thing you have to ensure you do, is make sure you push the pessary up as far as the leaflet tells you. you can get a rough estimate of when it’s in far enough by feeling how much is sticking out of you. I tried to do it by myself once, got scared and i didn’t push it in far enough, inserted the tablet and it got stuck somewhere… i kid you not my partner had to use his fingers to try and fish it out whilst i was crying 🤣😭 there’s no shame or embarrassment between us, there’s no dignity left hahah. so that’s my number one advice, the further it’s in the better but obviously don’t put the whole thing in, just ensure it’s far enough in! but i can assure you it won’t cause harm to your baby. i was super prone to thrush when pregnant with my first, and ended up being prescribed a pessary at least 3 or 4 times, there was never any issues xxx

I’ve had pessary (first time mum). It’s not bad. It only took me a few hours to give birth with the Pessary. Every woman is different but I would do it again.

@Nasra I’m not trying to give birth I am 14 weeks pregnant lol I was trying to get rid of thrush - so I’d sure hope not

@Sophia I am single so no sex for me lol but I did insert it last night and hopefully it worked Thank you

@Sinead it deffo was up far enough 😅 I was concerned it was a litttke too far up ahaha. Omg no way lol I tried to and then it all started dissolving so I left it alone😂 wait don’t put the whole thing in? The leaflet told me to put the whole thing in I used my finger btw I didn’t use the thing that came with it if that is what you’re talking about lol xx

@Jess oh sorry. I misunderstood your message.

@Jess yes i’m on about the pessary (which is the stick that it comes with) the tablet def goes all the way up there but i was too scared to use my finger so i used the pessary to insert it lol haha xxx

If you’re pregnant you need to put it in without the plastic inserter thing just put it in with your fingers

@Kathryn I did this thanks
