I have had three mcs. I chose the medical procedure to terminate the first one (4+ years ago) because I was scared of surgery. Then I terrified myself by reading stories online about horrific experiences with medical abortion. Then I took the drug, and it made me bleed but I did not have any cramping or discomfort. I was convinced that it did not work! I was really pissed! Then I went for my followup with my dr and it had totally worked. So, I guess overall it was... well, it's never a positive experience but it was not as bad as I expected.

I had another mc last month, and I asked about the medical option, but my doctor recommended a D&C for reasons specific to my case. They gave me propofol so I was knocked out for the procedure. The hardest part was being upset over the mc of a badly wanted baby.

(The second mc happened spontaneously so no need for intervention.)

I also took misoprostol for a missed mc. It was a bit traumatic for me (I was unprepared for the pain and the amount of blood) but ultimately it was over within 24 hrs in the comfort of my own home, so that was good. I didn't choose it again for my next mmc, but that was mostly because I had a LO by that point and I wanted to deal with it outside our home.

Hugs to you.
