[quote=Anonymous]I had a D&C with my first miscarriage and was concerned about scarring, so used Cytotec for my second; I ultimately needed a D&C anyway to follow up with the Cytotec because the miscarriage was incomplete.  I was, however, further along than you are, so that might have affected the outcome; I wonder if that explains much of the difference between the experiences people on here have had.  I will say, however, that you should a) do it in the morning--if something goes wrong, you don't want to have to deal with it in the middle of the night; b) push for painkillers, but, at a minimum, start taking the strongest thing you can get over the counter before you start; and c) have someone with you.  I had a lot of pain and tremendous bleeding--soaking through a heavy duty pad in less than 15 minutes for a couple of hours.  My dad, who's an MD, happened to be visiting; if he had not, I would have been in the hospital.  It was really quite scary, and passing the fetus was traumatic (what the heck was I supposed to do with it?).
Please be careful and don't do it alone.  I'm so sorry for your loss.  I know how hard this is.[/quote]
