The Red Red Month

Consulted with my gynae and we decided to talk the pill route – mifi & cytotec. No D&C, non-surgical, no anesthetic, more natural. I took mifi on Dec 2nd, and inserted the 4 cytos on the 4th. After the cyto, I started bleeding. It’s the body’s way to clearing out the uterus wall lining tissues. It was crazy. For the first time on my life, I not stained, but soaked my panties and jeans. I had to scramble to buy new underwear and pants!

After a week of bleeding, I thought it was done. But no, for whatever reason, my body did not clear out all the clots. This method is supposed to be 95% - 97% effective. Jackpot – I am one of the 3%.

On the 15th, Doc gave me a 2nd dose of cyto, a higher dose this time. 4 to insert, 2 to ingest. Still not much bleeding. In the end, still have to go for a D&C. On 19th, I went to Roopi again.

I am recovering now. Still a little anemic but glad it's all cleared out.

I had a IUD inserted and hopefully, that’s the end of my of it. Well, at least for 5 years.
