Miscarriage with Misoprostol

Just wanted to put my story out there as I know other women's stories help me feel not so alone. A little background: I found out 1 week ago at 8w6d that I had a missed miscarriage. I waited a week to see if I would pass it naturally but to no luck. I decided to go with misoprostol as I didn't want to be put under and have surgery and much preferred going through this in the comfort of my own home. I took the first pill vaginally at 6:00. Nothing happened. Put the 2nd in at 7:00. Mild cramping started. A little bleeding when I wiped. 3rd pill and pain pill at 8:00...my cramping started to intensify moderately. By 9:00 the cramps were worse. By 9:30 they were pretty constant and severe. I also had severe lower back pain. I went to sit on the toilet and this is when the pain was the worst. I passed one long thing blood clot probably about 4-5 inches long. A little blood was dripping but not much. I started to get really hot and sweaty and my hands were tingling (I think this was from breathing so heavy) I finally had a short break in the pain and went to lay down. I think my pain medicine started to finally kick in at this point and I started to doze off.  Not long after I felt a gush of blood...I ran to the bathroom and so much blood and clots were just running out of me. I didn't have any pain at that point which I thought was odd. I assumed I'd have cramps when I passed stuff. I sat on the toilet for about 30-60 minutes. I couldn't even see what all I had passed because the toilet was just dark red and I couldn't bring myself to scoop out anything. After the bleedingbslowed I cleaned myself up and went and laid down. I had moderate to light bleeding the rest of the night. Now it's the next day and I'm only having light bleeding. No cramping. A little back pain and fatigue. I'm hoping that I passed everything but not quite sure since I didn't really see the sac or anything. If I had to go back in time and choose, I'd choose the misoprostol again. As painful as it was I was glad I was at home with my husband and dog. It gave me comfort through the pain. Hope my experience can help others. This is a scary thing to get ready to do. I had so much anxiety right before...I felt like such a nut case. I feel like I finally have some closure now.
