Anyone has to take mifepristone for medically managed miscarriage? I am not coping

I am so sad and not coping.

Has anyone had to take this drug? Will it affect my fertility? Doctor said probably not. I feel scared

I've taken it three times for medical management, and I had a successful pregnancy after the first two times, and now pregnant again (16 weeks) after third time.

I'm so sorry you're going through this, it's absolutely awful. Try not to be scared, no one ever mentioned anything to me about my treatment affecting your future fertility. You sound like you're having a really hard time OP Flowers

Thanks so much for your message. I am finding things so hard.

I know a couple of people who miscarried and they didn’t think they had taken this drug, only misprisol? So I feel like it’s maybe worse having taken what I’ve taken. I was early on. I’m so sad.

It's so sad to lose a pregnancy, no matter how early. From what I understand, mifepristone stops the progesterone production, which makes it more likely for the misoprostol to work successfully, but I'm not an expert, obviously - maybe you should contact your midwife/GP/early pregnancy unit and you can ask them any questions you have. You shouldn't be worrying over it, you've got enough on your plate coping with your loss ❤️
