@acleverusername thanks! I actually had bleeding for less time than that and no pain after the first day when I took the misoprostol. Ugh! Obviously, everyone is different and every pregnancy is different, I know. I am so torn on what to do here. I just don't want to do the medication route and get on this boat with an incomplete miscarriage, yah know?
