I am so sorry that all of you have been through this. it must be very difficult. I wanted to share my experience with misoprostol so that other people understand that it really isn't that bad. often it seems to be the best option.
my experience was quite similar to most of what I've read. my cramps were never all that bad. I think that I took one tylenol through the whole thing. it was like an intense period but nothing like labor (which I've done twice with no pain killers). I was quite early in the pregnancy. just under 6 weeks. it seemed to go fine but I don't think it completely passed. I completely stopped bleeding the day after I took the misoprostol and started having pink tinged discharge a week later. 5 days after that I started cramping and bleeding again-bright red then dark red for 3 days. it wasn't a lot of blood but it was definitely enough to get my attention (it's been two weeks at this point). The pregnancy tests are still positive (but pretty light) so they sent me for a quantitative test today. we will see if it's over.....but I still have slight cramps. no pain, just pressure. I no longer feel pregnant. my breasts are still a little sore, but overall I feel not pregnant.

good luck to you all! and thanks for sharing. it's always good to hear other womens stories. it helps us all!
