I am pathetic
I don't know if you remember my saga of a couple of weeks ago. I was 7 weeks pregnant and had an "inconclusive" ultrasound. As I suspected would happen, 2 ultrasounds later, I have confirmation that I am having another miscarriage.
I have misoprostol sitting right next to me, just waiting for me to take it and kind of finish things off. But, I am scared to do it. I am scared of the cramping and bleeding my own blood. Someone tell me it isn't that bad.
I tried to go to the Bump to ask about misoprostol, but then I got scared. Too many "My angel is in heaven" posts. I just couldn't do it.

That's very sweet of you, but I have to shove the pills up my hoo-ha and I am sure that applesauce and peanut butter do not belong up there.

FWIW, you're not pathetic at all. I imagine that would be difficult for anyone.
(I almost said a hard pill to swallow for anyone and then realized the inappropriateness of that particular saying)
hmm, i didn't have to take a pill to induce it, but i have miscarried and it is very painful, i can only imagine this would be more so.
Before you take it, go out and get yourself a heating pad, many movies and a stash of all your favourite foods. The I ugess just get it over with. And stay on top of the painkillers, every 4 hours without fail for 24 hours.
and this is just very funny, I'm inappropriately laughing.

not pathetic at all. I'm so sorry for you. : (
take care of yourself. the cramping/bleeding isn't that bad; it's all the emotional stuff that goes with it. you have my Toliet Paper.
I also inappropriately laughed about this.

I think it was a wise decision not to go with my peanut butter suggestion then. It's back to the drawing board for me to think of something else highly inappropriate to joke about, I guess.
I'm so sorry. I hope the pain is short lived.

I am also inappropriately laughing at Cali's comment. It's a much needed laugh. Thanks for the tip on the heating pad, I wouldn't have thought of that.
I appreciate all the nice thoughts. I definately don't feel brave. Pretty far from it, in fact. But, I'm just going to have to do this. It's better than the alternatives so, here goes nothing.

Well, the itching and burning after the applesauce and peanut butter would certainly take her mind off the cramps and bleeding, no?

I took misoprostol. I was scared but it wasn't as bad as I thought, honestly. I used to get killer period cramps in high school, and the cramps from the drug were about the same, not any worse.
Just know that sometimes it doesn't work for everyone. Some women need a D&C anyway. But for me, it went pretty smoothly (well, as smoothly as you can).
I'd want a bottle of wine nearby, but maybe that's not good when you're bleeding your own blood. My only reference for that is getting my cartilage pierced (messy).
ps- I'm really sorry.

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
They gave me 2 doses just in case. Hopefully it won't take more than that. I do remember some cramping after my D&Cs (in addition to feeling completely out of it due to anesthesia) so I'm probably making it out to be worse than it really is. It's probably not a pain level I haven't already experienced.

I'm really sorry that you're going through this. I wish I had some kind of advice or something.

It's a good thing my circle of trust is as giant as my vagina. That only leaves a couple people out. - Cali
Is this your toilet paper with the worms on it? If so, I politely decline, though I appreciate the offer.

I know it's different for everybody, but my pain threshold is pretty low, and I got through it ok (with ibuprofen and some Tylenol with codeine). I kind of have the mindset that if I can do it, anyone can (not just related to this, but a lot of things when it comes to pain - including stubbing my toe).
I'm sorry you have to go through this though. It sucks, sucks, sucks.
Maybe I don't have a heightened sense of smell, but I've never smelled any vagina on my pants. -- TSD
