Anyone else pregnant via IVF using endometrim suppository experiencing vaginal ithing (TMI)

[Anonymous]

Sorry if I grossed anyone out. But I am still very early about 5 weeks preggie and using endometrim vaginal suppositories twice a day. The inserts kinda get mushy during the day so I have to wear a pad which gets very moist. Well now my clitoris area is very itchy. No discharge or smell, just itchy. Anyone have this? What was it and how do you treat it? Thanks.

I haven't used the endometrim, but I used the prometrium inserts (capsules), and that caused itching in the anal area. Have you looked at the StirrupQueens blog? She explains the side effects of a lot of the meds, which is how I wasn't surprised by the prometrium, but I don't recall if she has anything on endometrim.

FWIW, I only had the issue with prometrium during the first cycle for some reason.

What I did was use a thinner pantyliner and change it during the day if necessary. Leaves for a little more "breathing" room. Also, and don't take this the wrong way, but I found that I had to clean VERY thoroughly with soap and water every day. That really helped any ichyness stop. And be careful, because you could also have a yeast infection....
