I'm getting ready to start doing them vaginally - do i need to poke a hole in them or can i just put them up there as is?

As is...the vagina will desinagrate the outer. From what I've read, you'll want to wear a panty liner as it will leak out. It's easiest to put it in at night before bed.

Good luck

I poke a hole in them. But I don't know if you have to. And yes- do it before bed.

No need to poke a hole. Definitely wear a panty liner. The first night I did this, I got up in the middle of the night and when I stood up, I thought my water had broken at first

If I want to do them during the day - is that okay? I'm just trying to throw as much softening power at my uterus as possible between now and Thursday

Or is it best to take them orally during the day while I'm moving about then just vaginally at night when I'm laying flat? I don't want to waste it if it's just going to run down my legs while I'm moving about during the day

That's what I do. Orally during the day and vaginally at night. I don't get any dripping- even if I get up a lot to go pee.
And thanks for the reminder- I didn't take mine yet today.

I did them vaginally during the day, too, but just made sure to wear a pad because you'll definitely have leakage if you do them during the day.

I poke a hole in them for faster access, and I always do it at night, but you don't have to. Absolutely wear a pantyliner or something.

You don't get dripping? What's the secret? Am I getting up to pee too soon after putting them in?

blushing as I ask this ... will I pass the capsule or will my body absorb it? I keep looking for something and so far (five hours later) haven't seen anything.

And also, I haven't had much leakage either ... but I only used a 500mg capsule.

Nope- I poke a hole in it and get right into bed. I probably don't get out of bed for at least an hour. And then just right to the bathroom and back to bed.

and no- I don't think I pass them. I think they just get absorbed.

i was doing 3 500mg capsules and had some leakage for a couple of hours afterwards, but I never passed the capsule.
