I caught sight of my medical chart and the official phrase used was "fetal demise", but the doctor's office staff usually said miscarriage.
abortion is a horrible word and most health care people or insurance people will phrase it differently. I work in the medical field and we do call them abortions. Either missed or spontaneous. Well, those are the natural ones. I still hate the word,especially with 3 under my belt. :(
Sorry for your loss, I did not take the pill but wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss and know that you are strong and will be ready again soon. :)
I hear you. One time when dealing with health insurance, the lady gave me some attitude. I forget exactly what she said, but it was something snotty like "this charge is for your past two abortions." Boy did I set the record straight.
I hate when they call m/c abortion...
I'm sorry for your loss, too.
I took Misoprostal to end an early m/c (ended up to be ectopic so it didn't help). The first time I took it orally and it didn't work. The next time I took it vaginally and it did. I don't recall any side effects other than really heavy bleeding and bad cramps that lasted like two days or so. I kind of think D&Cs are easier but tougher on your body I guess (I've had 6 or 7 D&Cs - so many that I seriously lose count.)
Hang in there, and good look.
Did you have a missed miscarriage? I took cytotec for my missed miscarriage. No side affects. Took about 1 1/2 weeks. My doctor started me with a low dosage first, then increased it. I'm sorry for your loss.
