Mife/misoprostol how long does it take to work?

[Blondewave]

So I am currently coming up to 12 weeks pregnant but sack etc is measuring 9 weeks as baby stopped growing.

opted for tablets as I’ve had D&Cs in the past and was worried too many would cause scar tissue.

took mife two days ago apart from feeling VERY poorly and wiped out I have had 0 bleeding. I pick up the misoprostol tonight after my eldest sons parents evening

when will it start? I have such a lot going on this week it was my first week back at work after maternity leave (I have a 1 year old baby) my other son has parents eve tonight. I’ve packed it all in today and my baby has gone to my MIL for the morning so I can ‘rest’ so I feel very guilty….but I’ll have to pull myself together and do parents evening as I owe it to my son. The waiting is taking its toll on me and my partner. My partner is resentful of me as he’s having to take time off work to help with our baby as the baby is also poorly so couldn’t go to nursery yesterday and I had my first day back at work. Miscarriage is stressful enough without constantly waiting for it to start. Life feels like it is on pause 🙃🥲

Also said I didn’t want my MIL at the house when bleeding starts as she has a partner who is very laddish and inconsiderate but my partner told me I was being selfish as we need her help with the baby so he can work and I can rest. I just feel so unheard and uncared for tbh. My partner angrily dropped our baby off at his mums this morning and didn’t even leave saying goodbye. This miscarriage is taking a massive strain on us when I just want him to be caring. When I’m out of action our whole home comes tumbling down and my partner gets very stressed and angry. Sorry for the rant! The waiting is so awful 😞

I’m so sorry, first that you’ve had a miscarriage, and secondly that you aren’t getting the kindness and support that you should be. Your partner’s behaviour is awful. Like you I had several miscarriages and so had to have this 3 times - I didn’t want anyone in the house with me, what on earth was he thinking!! I also had a toddler with the most recent. My partner looked after him, and me. Yours should be doing the same.

I took the first dose in hospital, and the second dose at 6:30 (think about 36 hours between them) and it was all over by 11. I went to bed and forced myself to sleep until the cramps woke me. I hope it’s quick for you too.

I hope you are treated kindly when your partner returns and he is full of apologies. Yes miscarriage affects our partners too but the way he is treating you is cruel and completely unacceptable, at a time when you are already vulnerable. Thinking of you x

Sorry to hear this. I second @Littlegoth said. Also to add it’s just awful to miscarry . Work is really not a place to be when it happens , if it’s anything like normal your in pain and cramping id be surprised if they didn’t call you an ambulance if your were around other people working maybe speak to your manager I’m sure they would have to be understand. Good luck. Big hugs x
