ahahaha welcome to the club girlie!!!!
They are messy...yes! they are uncomfortable? yes!, they stain and you have to wear a panty liner for 3 months straight? yes!........IS IT WORTH IT??? YEEEEEEEES! anything for our little ones right?.....
so, go buy those ultra thin always or kotex, without wings (they just get in the way) and prepare yourself to be in constant white period for the next 3 months! lol

How many a day you have to use? mine are 2.......oh well!...you'll get used to washing your hands twice more, after cleaning your face.........=))

not bad at all I put them in right before bed (first ask dh if he wants to bd because once it's in you can't for at LEAST 4 hr so he dosn't absorb it into his body) then the next few times you pee you might notice a little extra white fluid on the tissue.  I just hate it because of the bding factor other then that no problems.

Thanks girls. I just looked in the fridge and they don't say what kind. I had to go to a special pharmacy where they MAKE them per order, is that weird? Anyways they are 100mg 1x a day, so night?
Tanker, yeah I remember reading your posts about them, hee hee

I think it depends what kind you are on.  Mine was Crinone. I took it once a day.  Usually at night but sometime in the morning.  They weren't that messy but they left a by-product that looked like wet tissue paper.  If you didn't clean it out every couple of days, it would really start to accumulate.

For 1wk I was on it 1 time per day at night, not messy. But when I started 2 times per day(morning and night), had to wear a liner otherwise it stained. It was little messy and had odor.

haha. They aren't that bad. How many times per day do you have to do it? That makes a big difference to me. It wasn't so bad when I took one in the AM and one before bed. I always wore a panty liner for a few hours after I put one in, as they do leak out this yellow discharge for a while. I found that way, my hubbie and i could still bd without it being that gross, just not in the morning after I put it in and not after I put the one in at night. It's not too bad! Especially if it helps carry a healthy pregnancy. Good luck!
