TTC after misoprostol

Sorry to hear about your experience Bubno1. I took that medicine to induce my mc at about 10/11 weeks as bub didn't make it past about 7. My doc said to wait one cycle but she said there really wasn't much reason for doing so.

I don't think it mattered for me anyway because we're onto cycle #4 since then with no luck. I had AF about 3 weeks after taking the med but I don't think I OV as I still had HCG in my system about 5 days before AF came... either it was one short LP or just an anovulatory cycle.

Since taking it, my periods have been super light (almost non-existent) but I know I'm OV because of temp rises and +OPKs every month. I also had a oral thrush infection (yuck, I know!) about a month after taking it - most likely due to the hormone imbalance. I'm not sure if my "issues" have been due to the meds or the mc. Either way, it's very frustrating! I'm off to the doc for some blood tests next week to see if they're still out of whack.

Did your doc give you any advice. I think the med is out of your system very quickly. At the end of the day, you need to go with what's best for you. I personally wanted to wait, but I was further along and needed the med for the mc. I also lost a lot of weight from morning sickness and stress and knew my body wasn't up for it again soon. I also just felt like my lady bits needed some time to recover :-)

Good luck to you! Let me know how you get on. I hope you don't get any of the side effects the med can bring on - I didn't!

How are you doing bubno1? Hope all is going well. i just wanted you to know i was thinking of you and sending you a big virtual hug. X

Aw. I just don't want you to feel alone in all this like I did initially. Are you taking just one dose or repeat doses? I took a few pills every 2 hours for an entire day. Maybe you're on a lower dose. Can you ring the doc? Did they say what to expect? Try not to stress too much. I'm sure you've done the right thing. The only other real option was a d&c and there are more risks with that. Hang in there! Keep me posted on how you're doing. X

Oh, I hope it isn't drawn out for you! I know how it feels to just want it over and to move on to the next cycle of trying.   

Maybe there's only a little bit of bleeding because you're lining hasn't properly built up yet and maybe the retained tissue has come out already :-) 3 weeks after my mc, my first AF was so light I didn't even think it was one at first. Try to stay positive, it's still early days! If there was only a tiny bit of tissue left over, you probably wouldn't even notice it at this stage.

Sounds like good advice, Nell. I would also ask for another scan on Monday. They probably will anyway. With my second m/c, I barely bled at all and delivered a large kind of clot, and that was it. Bleeding was over in a couple of days. Clearly, my lining was not very thick and that has turned out to be the problem for me anyway. I hope you get some answers on Monday.

Oh, Bubno1, I'm so sorry you're going through this. The whole TTC things is full of waiting... waiting for OV, waiting to test, waiting for answers, waiting for HCG to leave your system after a mc when you just want to move on, etc. It's never easy but it does teach us the patience we will need when our wee little bub comes into our lives. I hope you can distract yourself until you get some answers. x

Lovely words, a.girl.
