Sadly, yesterday I was rx Cytotec to induce a miscarriage. Our baby's heart stopped beating. So, I started it yesterday afternoon and all was going well...cramping about 2 hrs later, bleeding started about an hour after that. I passed a few large clots, in the first clot there were two of the pills. The cramps were getting bad a couple hours later so I took a vicoden and went to bed. Still cramped, but the bleeding has slowed to just enough bright red blood and a few tiny clots when I wipe...nothing on the pad.
I'm just wondering...has anyone had experience with this drug? If so, is there a "normal" process of expelling the uterine contents? Will the bleeding pick up again? Should I call the Dr? I'm just so confused (in addition to every other feeling) and just want it all to be over. It's 3:45 a.m. here and I can't sleep.....
TIA,
Jen

Sorry about your loss
I was required to take it 4 or 5 times till I passed everything. I found it would give me cramping and bad contractions for a few hours then stop.
After going to a new RE I was told that it can cause scarring of the uterus...not sure if this true but I have no reason not to believe this RE.
If by chance and your uterus has not shed everything please look into other options before taking another dose.
(((Hugs)))
I just wanted to say that I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Some of the tissue came out last night, but I have to take another dose tonight. So, we'll see. Also, I will do the bloodwork tomorrow and based on the numbers will do another a couple days after that.
Just taking it easy today....
