Right now i am shaking, i have a bit faster heart rate and im a bit lightheaded but im happy. WHY you ask? because i know this dose of nifedipene is working! i have been in search of some way to get this in effectively and then it dawned on me...
My supportive, loving gf asked "you use anusol, why not try putting the nifedipene in the applicator and plunge it with a q tip?"
i could never get the 4 cm up with my finger and anytime i could it seemed to waste tonnes of ointment....but the applicator could reach it, so here is what i did..
1. put two little pea sized dollops of nifedipene into the anusol applicator.
2. pushed it right to the very end so it gently oozed out but still a fair bit in there. wipe the opening clean with other end of q tip.
3. screw the cap onto the anusol
4. gently insert approx 4 cm (if possible) and squeeze, all of the nifedipene will be dispensed right onto the internal spincter.
my contractions feel smaller but we will wait and see. it seems to be working so far, i will keep posted as to how it goes.
i had to write this before getting back to bed, because if you are like me, ive tried q tips and hurt myself, finger and hurt myself, even a small smooth fingerlike applicator hurt me, and often times i couldnt even get any to the internal spincter.
in my experience, if i dont feel some of the side effects from the nifedipene, then i didnt apply it correctly, however i could be wrong.
hope this helps at least one person. good luck to you all, my heart it right there with you. its hard for me right now, but im going to have faith, for myself, and for you all.
