Mifepristone and misoprostol miscarriage

[StephyJ]

Hi everyone,

I am currently going through a medically managed miscarriage and was wondering if anyone who has gone down this route could shed some light on my experience.

I had a scan this Monday gone at 10 weeks to confirm a missed miscarriage. Baby only measured 6 weeks. At the EPU they gave me one tablet of mifepristone to block the progesterone hormone and get things going but at this time I was already bleeding and having cramps.

By the time I got home I had to take the painkillers they gave me as the cramps were getting increasingly worse. If anything they felt like contractions coming every few minutes or so. I was literally writhing in agony so took some more painkillers till it began to subside. Then I was fine and was able to go to bed at a normal time.

The next day still had normal to heavy bleeding and slight cramps. Tried to keep busy and do some house work.. Then all of a sudden I felt a trickling feeling and pressure coming from the inside of my vagina. I quickly waddled off to the toilet.. Sat down and felt the trickling.. pressure and then I passed some matter of some sort. It looked sort of grey and hard not like a gooey blood clot. All this with no significant cramps at all.. Totally unexpected!

So two days later and I am meant to take the cytotec or misoprostol in the anus ( because I am already bleeding). I have done so, which was uncomfortable and felt like by butt was on fire for about at hour. However 5 hours later and still nothing and I could no longer hold in a number 2, I gave in and went toilet

So now I am wondering if I miscarried properly 2 days ago and maybe that is why I am not feelin anything or if I have just basically messed up and pooped out the medication before it had a time to work.

I know a lot of information but if anyone has an idea of what is going on with me please let me know.

They will likely do an ultrasound to check what's left in the womb

I went through a similar process to yours and they found a small bit to tissue left after the baby and the placenta passed - so gave me more tablets to make that pass too.
