Moxie Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Ultrasound today showed retained tissue. Doctor have me a prescription for cytotec and pain pills. Joy. How long does this process take (hours, all day, etc)?? Need to figure out a time when two adults are home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2scouts Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Sorry. It could take a couple of days. Cytotec is no fun. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terabith Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I'm so sorry. I'd be tempted to ask if he could do a D&C. Faster, honestly easier on you, and you know it's completed. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moxie Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 D&C--btdt, no thanks. It would cost 2k and a day in the hospital in recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypatia. Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 When I used Cytotec for my miscarriage I inserted it at night, about 10 pm, and things progressed about 7-8 the next morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSOchristie Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Cytotec didn't work for me, so it wasn't painful at all :/. I took two doses. With my second m/c, it took six weeks to complete, but I did so on my own without any meds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newlifemom Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Didn't work for me and was pretty painful. Ended up with a D&C. I'm sorry. ((((((())))))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyStoner Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 It worked for me within 6-7 hours and it was not too (physically) painful. It really varies. I didn't need the narcotic pain relief my midwife prescribed at all. It wasn't painless but it wasn't really bad pain wise either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moxie Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Update--the medicine worked on Saturday. It was pretty intense but not painful. I weighed 2.5 pounds less on Sunday. Yeah, intense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSOchristie Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Sorry :grouphug: . At least it worked, mine lasted for six weeks trying to complete, six weeks of bleeding before my traitorous body released all the placenta :glare: .
