Cyclogest Tips

Only if you do it vaginally (30 mins lay down). If done rectally you can get up straight away. Also the latter is way more pleasant even though It sounds a bit daunting at first (vaginally can cause irritation of the cervix and general area and is very messy as the outer casing melts and leaks out).

My clinic have stipulated vaginally, but worried lying down for 30 minutes at a set time daily isn’t always going to be possible 😬

Only if you take vaginally. It’s best to do just before bed so you’re then lying down. You can do just rectally. Or you can do one of each. My clinic recommended one of each.

My clinic advised to alternate between vaginally and rectally as I’m on 4 per day. I do rectally in the morning as I have less time, then I do them vaginally before bed x

I was on 8 pessaries a day and did most of them rectally. The evening ones I did vaginally sometimes until I had bleeding, the pessaries were irritating my cervix so I did them all rectally after that.

I was on 3 a day. I did morning and evening vaginally lying down for 20 min. There'll still be wax discharge but the progesterone is absorbed by then. The midday one is easier to do rectally if you're working but be mindful that it caused me constipation and cramps (no winning with Cyclogest. Glamorous either way)
