Epo suppository, are you sure they'll dissolve properly?

Hi ladies,
I've just started taking the RL tabs and Epo capsules & have used epo internally once, but I was nervous about it & only used one. I should be doing 2 daily internally I think but I'm scared they won't dissolve properly hehe
I'm being silly right?

I didn't think you're supposed to use EPO internally until closer to your due date? I used it internally with DD from around 38weeks, I put a hole in the capsules with a pin and then inserted them and if they hadn't dissolved the next day i fished them out. Sorry that was way TMI lol.

I used them internally, I think 2 from about around 36 weeks and then 3 from 38 weeks onwards. They did dissolve, but I would suggest wearing old undies and a pad as the oil can leak out.

Thanks girls
Shelly you're right, I'm starting a bit early, didn't think it would do any harm, maybe I'll just take them orally for now and hold off on the internal ones for a cpl weeks

I used 2 per night from about 36 weeks - I always found they fully dissolved. But wear a pad and expect a bit of oiliness. They are meant to help your cervix ripen to open (I think), so at 33 weeks you probably don't want to start ripening just yet.

I just started on Friday night. They definitely dissolve, but I did get a little surprise at the oily residue on the toilet water in the morning! I have been wearing a cloth pad to bed at night, it works better than a liner.
