[quote=Anonymous]Just had to chime in -- I got Asherman's Syndrome (scar tissue) from a properly-done D&C.

For my next m/c I insisted on Cytotec.

I had a "good" experience -- as good as the miscarriage of a wanted pregnancy can be!

What made my experience good was, I think:

1) I took Zofran and Percocet 30 min BEFORE I took the Cytotec. Did I mention I took it BEFORE? Take it BEFORE!

2) I dipped the pills in white vinegar (5% acetic acid) and then inserted them vaginally. There is some evidence that this is the quickest way to completion.

I would absolutely do it vaginally, not orally, sublingually or buccally (is that word? In your cheek). Unless you like vomiting. Also, there is just no reason to take it systemically rather than putting it closer to where you want it to be.

I took the Zofran and Percocets, inserted the pills, took a nap, got up an hour and a half later and passed the sac and a lot of tissue. Two days later I had an ultrasound and my uterus was clean as a whistle.

I vastly preferred being at home with all my comforts to being at a hospital waiting for hours wearing a gown. And the cost was... $16. My co-pays for the D&C were closer to $1000.

So some people do have good experiences with Cytotec. And if you are prone to scarring, it is safer than a D&C. Asherman's is a sucky disease. It costs me my fertility.

Please ask if you have any questions. I wish doctors were more educated about the proper use of misoprostol/cytotec. They are really not. I had to education my SG doctors.

I far preferred being [/quote]
