My first was natural but I had to use the meds eventually to get all of the tissue out. The second time I opted for the meds right away which had to be repeated. Both were equally excruciating. Thankfully back then they weren't as stingy with the pain meds. IDK how they are now but there's no way I could do either without them. I'm sorry for your loss and that you're having to make this horrible decision 🙏
TW: miscarriage question
Those who’ve had multiple losses and had medical management through misoprostrol and natural losses, would you say the pain is about the same?
Wondering if I should wait and just let it happen naturally after hearing the stories of the pain the med can cause but I want to have some control over the situation and don’t want to draw it out longer. Were your cramps comparable? Feels like either choice sucks. This whole thing is crushing me. What did they feel like? I’m sorry I know this is a traumatic subject and I don’t want to be insensitive. I only had one natural loss before and it was a chemical pregnancy, I’m further along this time so don’t know what to expect.. my two other losses were d&cs so the recovery wasn’t terrible

I have not personally dealt with a medically-assisted loss, as all of my losses did eventually come along on their own unassisted. My close friend actually just went through this about 6 months ago, as she thought it would be more mild than a D&C and more natural for her body. She personally said it was very traumatic, was passing clots the size of her fist, could barely walk on her own and her husband spent the better part of a weekend carrying her to and from the bathroom to her bed. this certainly did not sound like the average experience, I am not sure why her body reacted so viscerally but it was tough on her, and ovulation has been an issue with her ever since. It seems like it really dis-regulated her hormones and cycle.
