no extra symptoms from mine. Yup the gross feeling is normal. I hated how wet it made everything down there. Liners are your friend. I was on them until 10ish weeks but had a few pills left so weaned off just before 12 weeks.

Ok, so this is super nasty, but I read it somewhere it else and it helped me (I used them until about 12w).

GROSS ALERT KEEP SCROLLING IF YOU ARE GROSSED OUT:

In the shower, stick a finger up there and gently sweep around to get all the old stuff out. It turns to like a really sticky, cottage cheese like glue and gets totally foul. Whenever I did that, I would get out like huge clumps of old progesterone supplements that had gotten stuck up there. YUCK. But I think that helped. It was still gross using them, but it helped to clean it out periodically.

I used them until around 12 weeks, always with liners. And I'm glad @MrsADS typed out her explanation because that's what I did and it really helped (but was not looking forward to explaining it lol). I used mine at night and "cleaned" in the shower in the morning.

I was on them till 12 weeks.
No extra symptoms that I'm aware of.
As far as tips...well, 1) I wore pantyliners 2) its gross and TMI but...I got those finger cots that look like tiny condoms and I would go up there and clean myself out. I also felt like I should because there's a lot of buildup and I was worried it would impede the medicine from getting to where it needed to go (this wasn't medical advice I got, just my own paranoid logic).

It sucks tremendously but itll be over before you know it! Hang in there. I chose that over PIO shots for my new rounds of IVF if I have a transfer.
