Crinone Question

Hi there! I am on day 5 of my first time using Crinone and so far it's not as bad as I was thinking it would be.  My (very TMI) question is what to do about all the "residue" that's stuck up in there?  It's not oozing out like I thought it would and there's no itching or smell like I thought but instead is so dry and almost like tiny pieces of toilet paper stuck up there.  So for those of you with Crinone experience, how/when does it go away?  I feel like how much more can fit up there?? 

If all goes well, I'll still have several more days on this before my beta test so I'm just wondering if I missed the memo from the doctor to "clean out" the old stuff each day or something!!??

Thanks in advance.

    There's nothing on this board that is TMI.  I mean obviously I tried to wash out that area each day but beyond that I didn't do anything.  The longer you use it the more it will leak out.  After the first 10 days, I had to start wearing a panty liner but it was nothing horrible.  I hope you get your BFP and I'll wait to tell you about what happens if AF comes because hopefully you wont need to know and that's when it gets gross.

    My Dr. said to swipe it out each morning in the shower before the application for that day.  Definitely not glamorous.  GL!

    No worries, no such thing as TMI around here lol.

    To answer your question, I had the same thing when using Crinone. The best way I could describe it was that it reminded me of those little chunks of dried lotion on a pump lotion bottle opening when you haven't used it in a few days lol, and they mostly come out at the end of the day, especially when SO and I have intercourse (it was all over both of us, big time ew). Unfortunately, it's going to be like that every day that you use the Crinone. After my bfn I stopped the Crinone and it went away after about a day of being off it.

    I have been on Crinone a lot and I'm currently on it now.  You have to scoop it out (for lack of a better term) every few days in the shower.
