medical management

[lilesMom]

Hey all.
Just feeling a bit lonely.
Took cytotec earlier for mmc
Up in middle of the night waiting for it to kick in properly
Its so far causing mild cramping and bleeding
But nothing major yet
Hope it works
I've had two d and c s previously
And don't want another one
Hugs to anyone suffering with loss right now
It is the most horrible time.
But I know from previously I will get over it and feel better
Xxx
Anyone else do med management
Anyone hve good experience with it
Lots of internet horror stories
But Il talk to u if its a horror story too 😊
Xxx

 

[lilesMom]

In case I frighten anyone
The d and cs were physically fine
I just don't want to go to hospital this time xxx

 

[lilesMom]

Update.
For anyone thinking of medical management
For me it couldn't hve gone easier.
I had read some awfull stories
I took the ponstan I was prescribed and took paracetemol
Glued myself to a hot water bottle
And I was fine
Pretty sure I passed everything this morn.
Bringing it to hospital now to be sure
Fingers crossed.
For anyone torn between d and c, med management and natural
For me this couldn't hve gone better.
Just so u know its possible for good outcomes too, ( well never good to hve lost baby , but hope u know what I mean)


LATER UPDATE

The reason it was so easy was a lot of clots left inside.
4 weeks later got lots of clots
Ended up in round 3 of antibiotic.
This time 2 kinds of antibiotic.
Don't think I ever do medical mgt ayain.
Just to let ye know my whole story.
But I dud only take one lot of tablets, not the second.
On docs advise,
I passed sac with first lot.
Maybe if i took second lot, i would hve passed the clots and lining too

I'm sorry hun. My losses were later on so d&c wasn't an option so had to have the pessaries and tablets and stay in hospital over night, but I'd still have chosen that over a d&c anyways. I hope your physical recovery is quick- I know emotionally the healing takes a lot longer. Huge hugs x

I'm so sorry for your loss. I took misoprostol last night to finish my miscarriage. Yesterday morning I started to miscarriage on my own. The sac with baby came out but most of the lining didn't and my cervix closed. Hence use of the meds. I wanted a d&c but they couldn't schedule me for a week so I chose this route. Last night wasn't too bad. It was painful but I took lots of pain meds and had a heating pad. Nothing was worse than miscarriaging and seeing the sac.

 

[lilesMom]

Thanks ladies. Xx
Sorry for ur losses xxx

Loralou, I'm called Laura Lou by family and some friends too 😊
Hope ur ok now.
Sorry for ur losses
Later most be much harder
Hugs xxx
How did u know ur lining hadn't come
If u don't mind me asking
I've had lots of little clots before and now again
Plus the sac and baby this morn
Will hve scan in ten days to check lining
But hoping its nearly done or will be over next few dats.
I'm not sure how much lining I should be seeing

 

[lilesMom]

Hugs Mrs green
Sorry u didn't get to hve a choice of d and c xx
Hope this works for u xxx
For me it actually helped me to see the sac
Made him more real to me
And I felt like I could say bye
I didn't think id want to see
But I did.
Huge hugs to u.

Thanks for responses girls xxx

For anyone who finds this and is thinking of medical mgt
In my case it worked well
I'm writing this possibly TMI account partly to make me feel better in getting it out
And partly cakes when I googled prior to it
I didn't find many good stories.

I took it at 8 Friday night
4 tabs orally
Did feel nausea and dizziness for an hour and a half but not major
Started bleeding then
With little clots on and off
Had something to eat to take my ponstan and nausea went
Had some cramping but hot water bottle made it fine
I slept on and off all night.
Waking to go to loo
Had gushes of bleeding with cramps
They got closer together and more bleeding towards morning.
I woke and had bled a good deal
Went to loo and sac just slipped out
Painless
Still had the mild cramping, more like squeezes than pain
They started to die down ad soon as sac passed.
Advised to keep taking ponstan
As they help limit blood loss as well ad pain relief
Had heating pad on all day but I'm ok
Apart from tiring easily .

Il update how I am over next few days.
So of it may help someone know what to expect later
Of course its different for everyone
But so ye get to see all possibilities
Not just the bad
Xxx

Mine was kind of similar. Took them at 9 but also took the Tylenol with coding the doctor prescribed to help with cramps. Although it didn't help much it did however help me sleep. I used a heating pad all night. When it would automatically turn off u woke up in pain, took more meds and turned the pad back on. Overall pain wasn't bad. But not much bleeding so that worries me. Because if enough of the lining doesn't come out I'll have to get the d&c anyway. I'll also keep updated in a few days.

Glad it worked for you and sorry for your losses

It didn't work for me, after a week on cytotec daily (orally & internally), I didn't have any cramps & just minor bleeding. I had to go for a D&C as it didn't work, my cervix softened a bit but it didn't dilate past 1 cm. that was my 2nd D&C

 

[lilesMom]

Mrs green, fingers crossed it is done for us both.
I'm still getting little clots today
But very little bleeding
But I'm still taking the ponstan as advised
It is supposed to slow bleeding
Hopefully rescan will show we r done and no d and c xxx

Sorry it didn't work for u xxx
I've had two previous d and c too
Just really didn't want to go to hosp this tome
Cos I've a 2 yr old who was sick
And I didn't want to leave him.
Even for a day .
My two d and c went fine but I just felt like I should try at home this time.
I think it worked for me cos I was close to it happening amyway
I had some bleeding and cramping ( mainly out my back) before it.
So I think all my body needed was a small nudge
Sorry for ur losses xxx
Be nice to yourself while u heal xxx

 

[mrs.green2015]

I agree lilesmom hopefully we don't have to do anything else. My bleeding has slowed way down. With no more clots. My appointment is next Monday to follow up. Yours?

 

[lilesMom]

Mine isn't until tues week
They give ten days to make sure u hve a chance to finish
Best of luck with ur check up xx

 

[mrs.green2015]

You too! Keep me updated. It's nice to have someone else going through the same thing.

 

[lilesMom]

Had more cramping this morn.
Started bleeding again later with little teeny clots
Feel much better again. .
Bit tired so I'm gonna take iron tab for a few days
But I'm grand really
Much better than I thought I would be

Hope ye r holding up ok ladies xxx

 

[lilesMom]

U t

You too! Keep me updated. It's nice to have someone else going through the same thing.

U too hon xx

 

[lilesMom]

I was a bit naive
I so wasn't done
Woke up with cramping and bleeding
Felt like more to go
I went for a good long walk
( slower than norm and on flat ground)
Figuring it would kill or cure me 😊
When I came home had a long hot shower
And everything started to go
Had a lot, a lot f clots and blood
Feel much better but a little dizzy now
Fingers crossed that is now me done 😊
If I need a d and c after this

Il hve no more blood left in me!!
Hope ye r ok ladies xxx

 

[lilesMom]

Still having some bleeding and clots
Had scan today
Just lining left , she said could bleed for another week yet
Am on antibiotic for a week cos think maybe infection starting
Pain yest and today, different to cramping.more sharp
And slight slight smell
So doc said safer to take antibiotic
I should hve taken the second lot of pills to get clots out quicker
But I didn't know how much was left
I'm just writing this in case anyone going through the same
Finds it and reads it.
I found lots of bits of stories when i was searching but none with much follow up

 

[lilesMom]

Mrs green did u get all clear?
Hope so xxx
