The misoprostol medicine does work. I kept hearing that the pain associated with this drug felt like period cramps. Hell no! I literally was rocking and moaning in pain for at least 2 hours and then it calmed down. I took the medicine orally and prior to that I took ibuprofen for pain. The ibuprofen did not work ... and I have a high pain tolerance. I’m not trying to scare you and it’s true everybody’s body will respond differently but the pain I felt was indescribable.... I couldn’t even stand.. all I could do was rock and moan . I was early too .. 6 weeks .. so I was expecting minimal pain ... yeah right. I also got diarrhea pretty bad. I knew it was over ... but even as I write this I’m still bleeding and cramping ... never again
