so no swimming on the endometrin

sliz · August 2009

kinda a bummer - going to visit the parents at their new house in FL next week and they have a pool...

my re's office indicated no, as the endometrin dissolves slowly and gets absorbed - she said that too much of it might get washed away/lost if I go swimming- I would use a tampon, but I'm very nervous about infections up there since apparently that was a factor in my m/c -

i thought they would laugh when I called with this question...

I asked my doctor the same question this morning and he told me it was okay... as long as I was just sort of floating around in the pool and not doing laps or anything.

However, I probably won't go in the pool anyway since I'm worried that the discharge would be visable. Yuck.

Couldn't you go swimming like mid-morning (around 12 hrs after insertion) and then use another supp when you're done swimming??

I don't know... I'm not a Dr or anything. I had just put in a supp one night and then DH wanted some lovin - nervous about what may or may not have leaked out afterward... I just put in another supp. (i have a lot of them)

Well - that's what I would do anyway. Go swimming and take another supp when you're done. Big Smile

i might do that if it is really inviting and everyone's in

I know it's really not a big deal as people do a lot worse in swimming pools, but I would feel really bad for everybody else in the pool if they knew that stuff was oozing out of my vagina (if you didn't use a tampon)! I currently do Endometrin 3 times a day, and maybe TMI but I use a pantyliner and there is quite a lot of it leaking out!!
