It's officially over.

nikiswimr · October 2014

Well after a much more eventful experience with Cytotec than I was anticipating, it was confirmed by ultrasound that there are no longer any "products of conception" (I hate that term. I took the first dose last night at 9, second at 1am. Bad cramping all night but no real bleeding. Then this morning the "cramps"/contractions became continuous. I had terrible diarrhea and was throwing up with each one. I passed out and my husband took me to the ER. Got IVF, antiemetics and things finally calmed down. They confirmed with ultrasound my uterus is empty. It turns out I probably passed the sac at home but was so sick I didn't know. I'm glad it's over but now just feel empty.

I'm sorry you had such a hard night. Hugs.

Oh no! I'm so sorry! But at least it's over.... I'm still worried mine isn't working

I'm so sorry

I ended up in the ER too after I passed out.
Take some time to yourself... It's almost all over.

@oopsiedaisies‌ I'm sorry to hear that you're going through this today as well. Hoping you're starting to feel better physically. Mentally I know it's still tough.

Thank you @FigureSkater8‌.

Oh no @mustlovedogs63, I hope it works for you soon (even though that seems like a terrible thing to wish someone). Did they have you take one or two doses? I mainly just had the terrible pain/nausea when I passed the sac but now the bleeding has started.

@4N6s‌ sorry to hear you ended up in the ER as well. I hope you're feeling better now.

I am so sorry. I too feel empty. Hugs to you.

Oh wow, I am so so sorry that it made you so sick. However, be so very thankful that the Cytotec worked for you completely. It didn't for me... I bled literally for a month and a half until I had surgery, and then they removed the remaining "products of conception."

I hope you're on your way to moving forward, in whatever manner that works for you! Hugs!

Oh my goodness I'm so sorry you had to go to the ER, but glad it's all over. I know it's sad and upsetting, but it's so much worse when it drags out. I hope you are at home resting. Hang in there. Hugs.

I'm so sorry ((hugs))

@nikiswimr I did three doses and it was horrible. I did end up passing the sac although ultrasound today showed some remnants that I still need to pass, so we are waiting it out for now. I just wish it was over so I could feel like myself again and maybe start to heal emotionally.

Just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you. Just such a sucky thing to happen to anyone..

@mustlovedogs63‌ Cytotec was seriously terrible. Wish I'd had the D&C to just be done with it. On my ultrasound all fetal tissue was gone but my lining was still super thick and vascular and they told me I have "lots of bleeding left to go" but everything has slowed way down. I'm mainly spotting and I feel like this will never be over. Thinking of you too.

nikiswimr · October 2014

@GingerPop79‌ I'm sorry you're struggling too. It's such a terrible terrible thing. Hugs.

I was going to take my Cycotec today, but fortunately my body expelled the sac on it's own last night. I miscarried at 10weeks. The stuff sounds horrible, but I didn't want a D&C to harm my chances of conceiving again (per doc's advice). The cramps were horrible doing it naturally, I can't imagine how you felt taking the pills. So sorry your experience was worse than it had to be. Take care and best wishes.

@Maggilu514‌ I'm so sorry for your loss but glad things were able to proceed naturally for you.
