completely TMI crinone question

So kudos to anyone brave enough to come in after reading the topic. 

My question is this:  I noticed lately that when I'm inserting the crinone and squeezing there is a little pocket of air that i can hear coming out.  I have read for years that blowing air into your personal space down there is dangerous due to pulmonary embolism.  I have googled ridiculous things to try to figure out if this is ok with the crinone or if i'm putting myself at risk twice a day and haven't really found anything.  

Is this normal or am I just inserting it at an odd angle?!  I am shaking the applicator so the medicine is at the bottom.  

Thanks ladies! :)

    I remember mine doing that too. It freaked me out a bit at first, but no matter how many times I tried to get the gel all the way to the bottom of the applicator the air always sounded like it got out. I wouldn't worry about it too much!

    I would think that you could only get a PE if the air pocket made if to your bloodstream or lungs. I think you would probably fluff it out before anything like that happens.
