Hello Ladies, A question for you, I have been taken utrogestan 200mg orally for the last 3 months but have had terrible migraines within 5 days of taking each month. I have decided and started taking it vaginally instead. So last night was first night of inserting them vaginally and all seemed ok but in the morning when I went for a pee I could see remnants of the capsules in my pee. is this normal? I am not sure I could put them any higher inside me than I did? any comments answers welcome thank you :)

Perfectly normal, I think the skin of the capsule isn't absorbed.
-
I insert them lying down with knees bent, and they still come out as either white on my underwear or visible white flakes in the toilet after I pee. Totally normal.
-
thank you for your comments I feel reassured I doing it correctly :)

Hi Jnine
Yup, the first night I used the utrogestan vaginally, I woke up the next morning actually stuck to my knickers!!!! Yak!!!

You could ask to swap to Cyclogest which is the same thing - 200mg of utrogestan - but it's designed to be put up the vag. Then you won't have any partially dissolved capsules coming out.
There is also a shortage of utrogestan at the mo but no shortage of Cyclogest so another reason to swap...
