Re: Took Misoprostol yesterday but so far nothing! HELP!!

Hi Going,

If it says that it could take up to 48 hours for this to begin, I would wait. Then if nothing happens, call the doctor.

I am sorry that you are going through this. But I guess you have to do what you have to do. Hopefully it will start working soon. Please post and let us know.

And I would like to welcome you to the depression forum on Healing Well. You have come to a good place. The members here are so kind and compassionate. Hopefully somebody who has been through this will post.

Please keep us posted as to how you are doing.
Best wishes to you.
Hugs, Karen

Hi Going,

I have the same thing, nothing is normal for me. It certainly couldn't hurt to call another doctor for another opinion if you don't think that it is working. But I would give it the full amount of time until you do.

I can see why you would be in a 'frenzy'. I probably would be too. But I am a worrier anyway.LOL And nothing ever goes easy for me. There is always something complicated when I try to do something. Especially when it comes to doctors. They have a way of being vague. I have heard other people say that. And no matter how hard you try to get answers, you just can't. At least not a straight one. But that is just my opinion.

Don't be frightened if you do end up bleeding a lot. I know two people that have done this and they had a lot of blood with clots. I don't know for sure how far along they were though. I just don't want you to be afraid. This is normal. But if you do feel concern, don't hesitate to call the doctor either.

I hope that this is helpful to you Going.

Take care,
Hugs, Karen
Feel free to post more if you need to talk.

Hello Going and Welcome to HealingWell, and I understand how upsetting this whole experience is for you.  I have read some conflicting reports on the dosing using this medication so you may want to talk with your physicisn.

This medications is used in other countries and has different info but according to the FDA 600mg is the right dose. I would give it the full 48 hours and then see what happens.  Try not to think so hard about it and hopefully your stress will go down.

I will say a prayer for you and I hope you will keep us posted.

Thank you all so much for your replies. Let me tell you how much it helps to have some input from other people. I've felt so "alone" during this because no one besides my husband really knows quite what's going on and he doesn't fully understand how it feels cause.....well....he's a man. lol

Anyway, I am having pretty intense lower back pain on and off and am starting to cramp mildly at this point. Still no bleeding but I'll take what I can get. (pretty morbid huh? lol)

I am seriously considering Stephanie's beer method if things don't kick it up a notch soon!

Thanks again for the replies! I appreciate it more than you know! Keep your fingers crossed for me! I need all the crossed fingers I can get! LOL

I am saying a prayer for both of you. I am glad that you found eachother.

Hugs
Karen

Low back pain = getting close!! Don't worry - everything will be fine.

You were absolutely right sunny!  I started to bleed a tiny bit last night around 9 (it was the slightest pink color...not really "blood") but when I woke up at 5:30 this morning it was visibally red on the pad.  Right then and there most of my anxiety started to disappear.  Anyway, I've been bleeding pretty lightly since then and have had mild cramps.  Nothing intense though.  Pretty much feels like my period.  I did have a weirdish yellow discharge mixed in with the blood earlier but nothing weird since.  No clots yet though. I AM a little worried that I haven't passed anything but maybe that's still to come.

Anyway, hopefully this continues on like this and I don't endure a lot of pain.  I did get myself a BIG bottle of wine just in case though!  LOL

 

BTW...Karen and Kitt.....you're absolutely right about it being great when you can connect with someone going through a similar situation.  It really helps, as does the general support from people like you.  Thanks again!

Ok...basically I haven't had any pain or major cramping since I last posted. I'm still bleeding although it's not heavy. It's not really the lightest it could be but it's not "gushing". I saw a couple of TINY little pieces of something. It looks like the uterine lining I shed during my regular period. I'm hoping this is normal and that the pill is definitely working. I am drinking wine now. It's keeping me calm and I feel pretty good. Maybe it will help me relax enough so that I can get this over with soon.

not to worry. Mine wasn't "gushing" either... just a regular period - all done now. Went back to confirm completion today :)
You'll be fine!!

hi all, i am currently in a similar situation with goingcrazynow. I am about 4 weeks pregnant now. I took 4 200mgs of misoprostol and inserted two like 36 hours ago. After that i felt so much pain for till yesterday morning. Afterwards i experienced some pains but no bleeding. Last night i also had a feeling like i was going to have my menstruation. This continued for a while and it stopped. Though i still feel some pains but no bleeding yet.

Pls, can the misoprostol still work or what should i do? Pls this is driving me crazy.
