misoprostol

Has anyone had to take misoprostol for a missed miscarriage? Once you pass the major clots, how long does it take to finish the heavy bleeding and cramping? It wasn't  as bad as I expected- kind of like a period, but I just want to know that the worst is over!

Hi there.  I am so sorry for your loss.  I know what you're going through because I was just there not too long ago.

My doctor gave me misoprostol when he told me that my baby stopped growing at 7 weeks (I was supposed to be 9.5 weeks.)  I took it, and a few hours later, passed many large clots.  I bled very heavily for the next few days.  I kept on bleeding - it got lighter as the days passed, but after month, I was still bleeding.  I had my HCG checked and it was lingering at 400.  I took another ultrasound and my doc told me that there was just a little tissue still holding on.  He gave me the option to wait it out or have the D&C.  I opted for the D&C since a month was just way TOO long for me to go through this.  I am so happy I got the D&C.  I bled for maybe 3 days and it stopped.  Just this past Sunday (3 weeks after D&C) I think (and my doctor thinks) I got my period.  It just ended the other day (6 days total).  I'm going to start TTC again with my husband this cycle.  Wish me luck.
