[b]But again, I'm curious to hear what you think is the correct way to use the cytotec.  [/b][/quote]

http://www.misoprostol.org/File/guidelines.php

For missed miscarriage, the guidelines supported by clinical studies are:
   -   800mcg vaginally 3-hrly (max x2) or sublingual 600mcg 3-hourly (max x2)
   -   Give 2 doses and leave to work for 1-2 weeks (unless heavy bleeding or infection)

I often hear of dosages that are two low, or are not repeated, or (most common) not given enough time to work.

I am not asking anyone to trust a stranger on the internet rather than their own doctor. I am urging women to do their own research, to learn about global standards and the long history of the safe use of misoprostol, and not to assume that every reproductive endocrinologist/gynecologist/obgyn is up to date on the research about the prevalence of Asherman's and the safe use of misoprostol/cytotec. Because I can assure you: they are not.

70% or so of women will sail through a D&C with absolutely no problems. But that's cold comfort if you're part of the 30%.

Please, please educate yourself. I didn't and I lost the ability to have another child. Educate yourself and make sure that you are comfortable with the relative risks and benefits of D&C vs. misoprostol.

If you find the research difficult to read, I'm happy to answer questions (I do this stuff for a living).[/quote]
