Hi.... I have done the first week's loading dose of vagifem (another week to go) then 5 per week. Plus I started the utrogestan & patches a few days ago. I just have a few worries going round in my mind and wondered if anyone had found the same things...here goes! (1) I worry I am not inserting it deep enough...I go as far as is comfortable before there is resistance but it's not 8-10 cm - I don't like to force it. Sometimes it glides in ok (I use lubrication) and sometimes I have more of a problem. I raise pelvis up and breathe out but still it's variable. Does it matter? (2)Occasionally when I click the applicator and the pessary comes out I feel a slight pain/sting - do other people find this? (3) Last night after the 2 insertions I felt sore and almost burny inside, which then prevented me from sleeping - does anyone else find this and might it go after a while of use? (I currently have VA/vaginitis for last 5 weeks). (4) I have been using Hyalofemme which thankfully agrees with me but am thinking about also trying Balance Activ as Dr suggested it for vaginal PH. I am not sure if they are similar - Hyalofemme is a rehydrating gel with a derivative of Hyalauric acid. I am worried Balance Activ might sting, but if it's a good idea to try instead or as well as Hyalofemme then whether to use the pessary (sick of pessaries though!) or the gel..any thoughts?
Sorry for these long questions but I have been saving them up for those who can relate and reassure me...I am a bit of a baby with all this, never having had children! (Also been in a lot of discomfort & inflammation for several weeks). Many thanks in advance.xx
