I know this doesn't help, but I've been where you are. Hope you are ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-letting-folks-know/page/2#post-859892 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 08:04:59 +0000 lilyofthewest 859892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry to hear.</p> <p>My pain management tips might be things you're already doing, but, just in case...</p> <p>I'd try 600mg of ibuprofen (Advil/Motrin) every 6 hours. A lot of people take less ibuprofen (less strong), or take 800mg (which doesn't really last for the full 8 hours you're supposed to wait between doses). </p> <p>You can also stagger doses of acetaminophen (Tylenol) with the ibuprofen so that you're taking one/the other every 3 hours. </p> <p>If you're doing okay with getting to sleep, but you're having wake-ups or poor quality sleep that's because of the cramping, you might try swapping your last PM dose of ibuprofen out for 440mg of naproxen sodium (Aleve). It is a longer-acting pain med than ibuprofen is -- it should help for at least 10 hours. </p> <p>Relatedly, wait at least 10 hours after taking it before taking more ibuprofen -- they're very similar meds and they're both processed by your kidneys. You can mix acetaminophen with naproxen if you need a top off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-letting-folks-know/page/2#post-859820 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 05:58:08 +0000 Andrea 859820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so sorry.

I had a mc at 7wks about a year ago. I already had a 1yo so I didn't have much time to feel bad. I told myself, if this wasn't going to be a healthy baby, better this than to find out something devastating later on. And this would actually bring us one step closer to the baby we were meant to have. You'll get through this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-letting-folks-know/page/2#post-859263 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 16:49:04 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 859263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry :( no advice for the pain unfortunately. My first was d&amp;c, and with my last I just used ibuprofen and heat. Worked enough I guess. Here if you need me. I know what an awful time this must be for you.

It reminded me in a rather strange way that I had to be ok because things needed to get done. </p> <p>I wanted to be "better" a lot quicker but that wasn't so. Some days I would just cry and that's good too. I feel like as much as I celebrated our baby when we found out I needed to mourn them to. </p>
