Hello all,
I am in the process of having a miscarriage. I found out on my first appointment (I was supposed to be 8 weeks 3 days) that it looked as if the baby stopped growing at 5 weeks and had no heartbeat. I went back this last Friday (9 weeks 3 days) and the baby showed no growth and no heartbeat. I chose not to have a d&c because, silly me I had no idea how painful this would all be, so I was given a prescription for 2 doses of misoprostol. It said to take the first dose and if nothing passes take the second dose. So I took the first on Saturday and was in excruciating pain (even with ibuprofen and hydro) and bleeding heavy with large clots until the point I passed what I thought was gestational sac and after cramping slowed ad was less painful and there was less bleeding. It sucked but the whole process lasted about 9 hours, which I was thankful for. Until today. While lying in bed at 1 am cramps kicked back on and bleeding got worse and it had progressed throughout the day. I called my doc and the nurse said I should've taken 2nd dose (um...bottle said to only take if nothing passes, so sorry for following directions) and that I needed to take 2nd dose. Mind you I am at work all day with just ibuprofen for 9 hours and I have to do this all over again tonight and I work 9 hours (while training someone) tomorrow because no one can cover me. I'm so exhausted and it hurts so bad I just want it all to be over but it just seems never ending. Sorry for the super long vent I'm just at my wits end. I'm not sure how much more of this I can take. (Not talking suicide I'm talking having a freaking absolute meltdown). Does anyone have any advice? Or anything at this point? I just feel like I am in a nightmare and it's never freaking ending.
