Question : I am 5 weeks pregnant. I have undergone ivf icsi. Since embryo transfer i have been using naturogest progestrone vaginal suppositries 3 times a day. Somehow while inserting it i am feeling my vaginal entry is closed and swelled up. Is it due to dryness which is caused by suppositries. I am really tensed.

Yes

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

Swelling of vagina feeling could be due to the frequent insertion of pessaries which is normal.

As far as it is not causing pain, no need to worry about it.

Continue with your medicines.
