I was prescribed this medicine (60mcg vaginally) after learning that at 6 weeks I had a missed miscarriage. I chose the pill option because it seemed the less severe option. Unfortunately my body reacted to it in a negative way. I was told it would be mild cramping, a little worse than a period, I was shocked when it was way worse.

I was prescribed this medicine (60mcg vaginally) after learning that at 6 weeks I had a missed miscarriage. I chose the pill option because it seemed the less severe option. Unfortunately my body reacted to it in a negative way. I was told it would be mild cramping, a little worse than a period, I was shocked when it was way worse. I'm pretty sure I now know what the start of labor feels like. The pain didn't start until 1.5 hours in and when it did at first it came in waves, sharp pains in my back and lower abdomen every few minutes. After 15 minutes of that they started to get closer together, I probably had a 25 second break in between each cramp. At this point I was vomiting from the pain and having severe hot flashes. I decided to head to the ER after 30 minutes of being in the bathroom. I could barely walk and I couldn't sign myself into the hospital. I finally passed the gestational sac 13 hours later. I'm now 3 days out and I'm still bleeding and cramping a little. I have a high pain tolerance but I've never felt pain like that in my life. I guess it depends on the person but I had a horrible time with this medicine. If (god forbid) this ever happens again I will go for the d&c.

7 weeks pregnant. I asked my doctor for phenergan (for nausea) which I believe, helped me to have a better experience than others. I was terrified of side effects but phenergan made it much easier. I allowed pills to dissolve in my mouth for thirty minutes then spit out the remainder. I took it at 9pm and by 2am the pregnancy had expelled.

I chose not to take narcotics for pain because I don't get bad menstrual cramps. Instead I took 4 Advil, it was the right amount for me.

After reading many of the reviews on this site, I was terrified of how much this was going to hurt physically and how much bleeding there was going to be. I started cramping about 40 minutes after taking my dose and bleeding a little. The bleeding continued to get heavier over the next hour, then stabilized.

After reading many of the reviews on this site, I was terrified of how much this was going to hurt physically and how much bleeding there was going to be. I started cramping about 40 minutes after taking my dose and bleeding a little. The bleeding continued to get heavier over the next hour, then stabilized. There were clots that were not usual, but the amount of blood was no more than a semiheavy period on day 1 or 2. The pain never got bad enough for me to take Ibuprofen, nevermind the Hydrocodone they prescribed me. By the time I went to bed 11 hours later, there were only tiny clots and blobs of tissue. At this time I had used 4 heavy flow pads. Today the flow is at a normal period level around day 2-3. I am sure that it varies with each woman and with how far along you are in the pregnancy, but don't let the other reviews scare you.

This medication was prescribed to abort several of my early miscarriages. I have used this drug with various experiences with pain from minimal requiring only aspirin to severe requiring Vicodin. Each time however it did take time to return to a predictable menstrual cycle.
