[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I cannot tell you all how grateful I am to ALL of you for your comments.  My Dr--the head of genetics at GW--strongly recommended against the D&C, at least at first, so I don't think I could get one right now.   He said my only two options at this point are to take this medicine OR wait and see.  But the baby has already been dead for over two weeks and I just don't think psychologically that I can take much more waiting.  I'm also 41 and hoping that I can try again, when I am emotionally ready, and the thought of spending more weeks in this condition is unbearable.

This pill sounds so scary.  Some people were "ok" (comparably) but some of you had awful experiences.  I'm disturbed that my Dr. didn't offer me any prescription strength pain killers, nor did he give me any instructions about how to take this thing (orally, vaginally), etc.![/quote]

17:59 here. That's interesting that you were strongly advised by someone at GW. There's a GW doc who's on the forefront of Asherman's treatment (Robinson) and I wonder if he's educated his colleagues! I had to fight NOT to have the D&C even after I already had been diagnosed with Asherman's...

Please consider calling your doctors office and asking if you can get prescriptions for a painkiller and Zofran. You may have to push, politely, but there is no harm in asking. It made the whole thing so much more comfortable for me -- no nausea and very minor pain.  If he says no (which I'd be mad about  since it's standard for Shady Grove), ask and see if you can find a couple of Percoset or Vicodin from someone who had a root canal or something. It makes me mad that women suffer when there are effective drugs that can reduce discomfort.

I was terrified but wanted so badly for it to be over. I took the Zofran and painkiller at 9 am, the cytotec at 9:30, and by 1 pm it was done and I was almost giddy with relief.  This is just my experience -- read the link and decide for yourself -- but I really do believe that dipping the in the vinegar (acetic acid) sped the time to completion. It was all over quickly and cleanly.

And lastly -- I'm sorry. It is a sucky situation.  You are not alone. [/quote]
