Anyone had an experience with natural mc and misoprostal for incomplete mc

[daisytaylor]

Hi all i have left a few threads over the past few weeks due to my on going mc.I had a mmc at 9 weeks and bled heavy for 3 weeks, had scan and still showed sac and placenta. Bled for another 2 weeks and another scan showed a second sac. 3 weeks of waiting and still sac so was given misoprostal last tuesday 24th nov. Bled lightly till thursday and have had heavy bleeding and clots ever since with pains on and off. Still bleeding heavy and losing clots. Phoned epau twice and assured all is normal and due re scan next thursday. Anyone else had similar or same experience with this drug. I was given 800mcg oraly.

Dear Daisy, I am sorry to hear about your Missed Miscarriage. I am towards the end of this process, the physical end anyway... My 12 week scan on November 6th revealed silence and stillness. I also was given 800 g of misoprostol, to be taken in 400 dose 48 hours apart. Bleeding heavily with pain in first week, and less so in second week, but still needing Maternity pads (buying them in the pharmacy after my scan, with prescription for strong codeine painkillers also kindly prescribed by doctor in the early pregnancy unit). I have had 2 scans since, and am almost clear now. The bleeding reduced dramatically at the end of the second week, and just some ongoing spotting.
I hope you are finding the physical results fading now, and can concentrate on looking after yourself. I spent 3 weeks very near the sofa and familiar novels and old bbc boxsets. Retreat and convalescence very important. ... the 1972 BBC War and Peace took me away...
Back at work now... How are you getting on?

Hi storm thank you for your reply. So sorry for your loss.
I was told to take my tablets in one go. I am still bleeding quite alot and still passing some clots. I took the tablets 10 days ago but the bleeding really kicked in about 8 days ago. Not really getting any pain just the heavy bleeding, and i have been stuck in the house all week. My very supportive husband has been taking the children to school everyday and picking them up even though he is working nights and is shattered. I don't know what i would have done without him. Facebook and daytime tv has kept me going along with washing and housework. I have a book about jade goody to read so i think i will start that.I have had 1 really bad day where i just broke down and sobbed. I am feeling ok at the moment. How are you doing? I think it can be harder to cope after the mc.

Oh Daisy, it does seem to go on forever, the bleeding etc. You must be totally and absolutely drained. Just be selfish and rest and indulge yourself.

Part of me felt I couldn't even think about what has just happened until the bleeding stopped and I was clean... And now part of me feels that in some way I was still pregnant, sick but pregnant...if that makes sense? And now 3 scans later, the process is stopping, I have to go back to how I was in August before the excitement and planning and ideas about the future.

I have no idea how you are coping with your long drawn out process. I know your next scan on Thursday must seem like a lifetime away.

I returned to work on Monday, and about 3.00 p.m. I had a weeping session in the loo. Back to where I was before I started. I had booked a leave day for 6th Nov for my first scan, and here I was, almost a month later, back with nothing. Throwing out the tentative maternity leave plans for next April etc. And secret plans for part time or changed work. Luckily everyone at work assumes that anyone off sick has been suffering from bad flu, so lots of sympathy and no curiosity.

Sobbing is good, keep at it. And I seem to have become an expert on old episodes of Friends, and the 6.30 sessions of Strictly Come Dancing. Not sure how I would manage with the full house and school runs you have. But am also thankful for a supportive husband.

It seems like an impossible miracle that the human race ever reproduces!?

Hi just wanted update and hope for more answers. Still bleeding and losing some small clots 2 weeks on from taking medication. Done a pregnancy test this morning as i was told and still showing a very very faint positive line. Has anyone else had a similar or same experience. Starting to wish i had erpc 9 weeks ago when this started.

Hi just wanted to leave an update, after taking the misoprostal and 3 weeks of heavy bleeding and losing loads of clots my bleeding finally calmed down last weekend 11th 12th dec. Have been having very light spotting since and pregnancy test on monday finally showed negative. Had my scan on friday and was given the all clear. All in all my mmc lasted 10 weeks and i don't think i ever thought you could bleed so much. It was the worst of my mc's so far. Thank you to everyone that has supported me and given advice over the last few months. I wish everyone the best in their battles and hope you all get to where you want to be x
