Crinone Use & Activities During Pregnancy: Safety Concerns

Question
5th time pregnant - I  only have one child, a beautiful 3 year old girl. Lost a twin with this pregnancy at 11 weeks. I have been on crinone 8% gel since I tested positive. My doc wants to keep me on through the second trimester.

Can I still go swimming or take a soothing bath? or will it all fall out?  

Answer
Dear Jenn,

I definitely would not swim or bathe on a regular basis and definitely not immediately following insertion of the Crinone. From what I can tell, it looks like there is about a 6 hour absorption time, but I would verify that and get a further recommendation from your doctor or pharmacist to make sure.

I hope this has helped. I wish you well and a Happy Easter!
