I had a second ultrasound on Friday, nothing had changed so I picked up the Cytotec from the pharmacy. I took it intravaginally this morning at 7:30 and went back to sleep. Nothing prepared me for how much pain I experienced. I was in so much pain that it woke me around 11:30. I was moaning and crying uncontrollably until I could keep painkillers down. I threw up everything I ate. I passed the baby around 5:00pm. I just had to type it out. Thanks for listening. What a crappy Easter.
Re: It's done.
It sucks and I'm sorry - I went through the same thing. All I can remember is laying on the bathroom floor with my heating pad trying not to move b/c any use of my ab muscles was excrutiating. I also remember wondering if I should go to the ER, but I couldn't bear the thought of having to sit up in the car and be away from my heating pad.
The best I can tell is that the worst is over, but be prepared to pop advil like candy over the next week. It was the only thing that helped me with the cramps.
I went through the same exact thing on Saturday with the cytotec/misoprostol. It was so painful emotionally and physically but I am glad that it is done. I don't think I could emotionally handle waiting it out naturally because who knows how long that can take.
I am so sorry you had to go through this too, especially over Easter weekend. I wanted to stab anybody that told me "Happy Easter!" in the eye. Yeah. Happy.
