You around? I have a weird question about misoprostol. My doctor prescribed it to help with my IUD insertion and I think the pharmacy gave me the oral pill instead of the vag pill...it looks just like an aspirin.

Re: Lisaiesha
The misoprostol I took vaginally also looked like aspirin. In fact, I don't think there are specific pills for oral use and vaginal use; I'm thinking it's the same pill.
That's what the internets said too. Weird. I assumed it would be like a capsule or something because she told me I might have "residue" when I wake up in the morning. *vom
I'm contemplating not even taking it. The side effects are freaking me out.

Yeah, I didn't notice any residue, but honestly, I had other things on my mind. My midwifec said I just had to lie down for a while after insertion to avoid them, um, falling out.
Is there any way you can take it orally? Or is it the side effects in general that are freaking you out?
My pills looked just like asprin as well. You are supposed to wet them before insertion.
I hated misoprostol, and the second dose was worse than the first, but I am sure my symptoms were worse than what you'll experience because I had stuff that needed to come out. And it was hanging on for dear life. Do you have the option to take alternative drugs?

I'm so proud of you for bucking up and doing this! Just keep telling yourself it's no big deal. The more relaxed you are when you go in there, the easier it'll all be. Maybe get a little drunk.
I miss Mirena. I just realized yesterday that the reason I'm breaking out like a teenager is not because I switched to a new face wash -- it's because my IUD is gone! This fills me with Hulk-rage. I've also been getting headaches almost daily, but I'm not sure if it's because I was overdue for a massage or due to no more IUD. And here I thought taking it out early would be a good thing.
