I asked the nurse though and she said because I am taking it for a different purpose it shouldnt affect anything beyond the half life of the two pills ... so I guess I will go ahead and do it. Wish me luck tomorrow!!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/misoprostol-prescribed-and-i-am-freaking-out-help#post-1970142 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 06:56:47 +0000 Mrsk 1970142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: she said to wait till I got AF after the miscarriage again, but didn't say it was because of the meds, but it probably wouldn't hurt to wait a cycle anyways, but I would ask your doctor. I would go along with the plans as laid out. I think if you skip taking it it could make the surgery difficult as it'll be harder to get last your cervix. But keep pressing them with questions. If there anyway you can call your doctor that is doing the iui next month to double check? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/misoprostol-prescribed-and-i-am-freaking-out-help#post-1970022 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 22:59:31 +0000 wrkbrk 1970022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DesertDreams88: thanks for your comments!! i believe it is 400 (2 pills of 200 each inserted vaginally overnight before the day of surgery). very interesting point about waiting a cycle to ttc. this is why it makes me so nervous that its not my doctor. :( my doctor knows (and ok'd!) an IUI my very next ovulation (jan 2). i asked this new doctor on the phone today WILL THIS MEDICATION AFFECT THAT PLAN and he said no??? sigh. i do not know what to do ... i can go ahead with it, go ahead but NOT take it, or wait another month till my doctor is back in town for the operation ... but i have already made arrangements at work, etc. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/misoprostol-prescribed-and-i-am-freaking-out-help#post-1970016 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 22:54:23 +0000 wrkbrk 1970016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsk: thank you. did your doctor mention anything about waiting a cycle or two to ttc again because of the meds? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/misoprostol-prescribed-and-i-am-freaking-out-help#post-1970015 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 22:53:54 +0000 wrkbrk 1970015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bea: thank you :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/misoprostol-prescribed-and-i-am-freaking-out-help#post-1969732 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 18:11:24 +0000 DesertDreams88 1969732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@WRKBRK: I was prescribed Misoprotol to "complete" my miscarriage about 3 weeks ago. It was an ok experience for me, it was just basically a bad period, though I was only at 6 weeks so that's partly why. Here's a couple thoughts:</p> <p>- Make sure you know exactly what dosage the doctor wants you on, I'm hoping / thinking it will be 400-600mg?? I did 600mg orally, three days in a row. This might be helpful: <a href="http://www.misoprostol.org/File/guidelines.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.misoprostol.org/File/guidelines.php</a></p> <p>Most of the horror stories online are normally 800mg and they were for missed miscarriages, which is why there was so much cramping and bleeding. </p> <p>- Misoprotol is in Pregnancy category X. You are not supposed to TTC for one month and/or one cycle afterward. This was clearly stated on my prescription insert. </p> <p>Best wishes for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/misoprostol-prescribed-and-i-am-freaking-out-help#post-1969701 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 17:53:14 +0000 Mrsk 1969701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took this before my d&amp;c in March. I had cramping, but a speedy recover, no adverse affects! It was to soften the cervix. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/misoprostol-prescribed-and-i-am-freaking-out-help#post-1969688 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 17:48:00 +0000 Bea 1969688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No words of wisdom here--just wishing you well!! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/misoprostol-prescribed-and-i-am-freaking-out-help#post-1969666 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 17:36:49 +0000 wrkbrk 1969666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@thismustbetheplace: oh wow ok you made me feel so much better. thank you for responding! so no ... risks for getting pregnant in the future if i use this on friday then?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/misoprostol-prescribed-and-i-am-freaking-out-help#post-1969650 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 17:22:01 +0000 thismustbetheplace 1969650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Misoprostol = Cytotec.. they use it all the time as a "ripening agent" before gynecological procedures that have to go through the cervical os. It was one of the most prescribed medications at the OB/GYN I worked at and I never heard of a single poor experience (except cramping which is expected). The internet is a scary place!</p> <p>ETA: Assuming it works properly it will SIGNIFICANTLY help with pain during your procedure. I remember IUD insertions with/without cytotec being like night and day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/misoprostol-prescribed-and-i-am-freaking-out-help#post-1969631 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 17:10:25 +0000 wrkbrk 1969631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok so I mentioned before on here that my RE was worried about low ovarian reserves. I went in for the sonogram and turns out that was fine BUT she found a fibroid I had no idea I had.</p> <p>Long story short I am having surgery to remove it on Friday but my doctor was called out of town and now a doctor I have never met is doing it which is fine on its own except he called just now and told me he wants me to take MISOPROSTOL vaginally several hours before the procedure to soften my cervix and I am freaking out.</p> <p>I made the mistake of googling this ... ACK. Has anyone taken it? Was it ok?? Help. </p>
