I swear iv literally had it on and off for about 3 or 4 months I'm sick of it .. canesten is fine x

I’ve had it 3 times so far, drives me crazy! Canesten of safe and fine to use x

Just bought the combi box pessary and cream but says on the box so not use in pregnancy so scared to use!

Canesten is absolutely fine to use in pregnancy just not constantly if it's recurrent you'll need to go to docs

yes it's fine to use these but people advise you don't use the applicator for inserting the pessary as it can irritate you. Use your fingers to push it in far as you can.
I used pessary during first 12 weeks and I started bleeding bright red and sort of... weird consistency? Powdery. It was all cus of the pessary and it was completely harmless but I'd certainly avoid the applicator if I did it again

I was told that you can use the pessary but don’t insert it all the way up.

In both my pregnancies I've had it in second trimester and use the pessary and cream xx if u do use pessary just put it in with ur fingers as far as u can go and not the applicator xx
