Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

misoprostol/cytotec question if you've taken it

I took my first dose at 2:00 and cramping started around 5 but is now subsiding at 8:30. I have not had any bleeding though. For it to be working don't I need to cramp & bleed?

  • I just took my 2nd dose today and both times no cramping but lots and lots of bleeding.

  • First, I am so sorry for your loss.

    When I took misoprostol, I took it vaginally. It took about 4 hours until the cramping really started. The intense cramping lasted for a couple hours and then tapered to cramps like a bad AF cramp for another few hours. The bleeding, as I recall started around the time the really intense cramping began. I bled for 48 hours and passed large clots.

    If you feel like what you are experiencing is not what your doctor told you to expect, I'd call the office and ask to have the on call doctor paged.

  • Thank you. I took my 2nd dose like my doc said to do if nothing happened and it is working now. Heavy AF flow type bleeding with clots started a bit ago. Seems to be working now, ill see what the day brings. I am not in terrible pain or light headed so I think I can wait to call my dr tomorrow when the office is open. @E&B0811 Thank you for sharing your experience and I am sorry for your loss.

  • My bleeding and cramping started over a week ago and today it was tapering off but my OB said I have to take this medication this week with antibiotics because there's still some left. I am so devastated because I thought this was over and now I have to experience even more pain and bleeding. Anyone else have to take this medication even after a week after MC? I'm so discouraged.
