Pink discharge after thrush pessary

Hi! My midwife gave me a 3 day course of canesten pessaries to deal with thrush, I’ve done 2 days of them so far, and today have had pink discharge. Seems like a fairly normal side effect from a quick google but it’s hard not to freak out! Anyone got any experience of this??

Oooh that’s interesting, I was told not to use the pessary while pregnancy and just use my finger to insert it? X

@Hannah maybe I’ll try that tonight!! My midwife said it was safe to use so slightly unsure!

I’ve had this pregnant and not pregnant x

I had exactly this - just the pessary working its way out!x

@Laura oh this is such a relief. I went straight into panic mode 😅 so yours was pink as well? Sorry, aware this is quite a TMI thread but I’m so grateful for the reassurance!

@Sibs okay phew!! Thank you. Will chill out now 😂

Yeah, had it for a good few days afterwards!x

@Laura phew, okay thank you. Do you know what causes it?! X
