[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for sharing this.  I'm glad you are at peace with your decision.  I hope I will get there too.

Is nausea a common side effect of the meds?  My OB did not mention this and told me to take ibuprophen for pain.  Someone else mentioned vicodin.  I do not have a high tolerance for pain and can't take narcotics because they usually make me sick to my stomach.  Anti-nausea drugs are tough for me too.  They do take away the nausea but put me to sleep in a big way.  [/quote]

Yes, my OB said nausea is a common side effect.  I alternated between high dose ibuprofen (600 mg per dose, I think) and some sort of narcotic pain killer.  Anti-nausea drugs and narcotic pain killers make me very sleepy too, almost narcoleptic-like sometimes, but you won't be doing anything or going anywhere during the period when you need the drugs, so I'd say take them.  The worst of the pain was over in about 45 minutes for me, then I had couple of secondary episodes the same day that felt like early labor cramps or the kind of intense menstrual cramps I sometimes had as a teenager.  I also remember passing another small chunk of tissue maybe 36-48 hours after the initial episode, but it wasn't painful, just unpleasant.  You probably won't need any meds after the first day.[/quote]
