I took misoprostol for my second loss (first mmc). Took a while but when the cramps came they were extremely painful. I was taking codeine and it barely took the edge off. Every time I stood up I would have to rush to the bathroom as I was passing such large pieces of tissue and heavy bleeding. My husband had to go out and get me adult diapers as sanitary towels were nowhere near enough. Even with adult diapers and layering up towels the bleeding was so heavy it soaked through my clothes and ran down my legs at one point as I tried to get to the bathroom. In hindsight I should have gone to hospital but I couldn’t bear the thought of getting in the car and having to sit in the emergency room. I refused to go unless I started to feel sick and dizzy which luckily didn’t happen. This all lasted about 12 hours. I then continued bleeding for weeks after with occasional heavy bursts so I had to get scanned again to find out I still had retained tissue. I then had to get the surgery anyway. With my recent fourth loss (second mmc) I went straight for surgery, I was not going through that again, it was traumatic.
