I am thinking about doing a deep dive into Fibroids & Endometriosis (with questions about fertility as well) with my fibroids doctor for a video here on my channel. If you have any questions that you would like to get answered from an expert, please let me know here in the comments. If it's too sensitive to publicly ask, go to my Instagram and I have put up a question box and will 100% keep your identity private. I love you all so much. I've read every comment and have wanted to respond to each of them but just know it's hard for me to really emotionally come up with responses right now. Every single one of them have touched my heart. I've never felt more loved and supported by "strangers" in my life. Hopefully, videos like this can be helpful to other women going through this.
Is it possible to do a video about the after. Like physical and emotional wise if your up to it. I’ve had three miscarriages (thankful that it passed by itself) but afterwords I felt awful cramps for like a week or two. I didn’t havnt a lot of bleeding after and emotionally my doctor said I had the equivalent of post partum. But I know you mentioned having to wear diapers for awhile and if you could explain that I think thatd be super helpful. And just like everything that comes after it. But I truly(and I think I can speak for everyone when I say. This) we don’t want you to talk about anything that is going to make your mental health worse. Just know we all love you and we are all here for you and we truly love you more than you will ever know 🥰
Can you please ask about multiple miscarriage and it’s relation to PCOS? I’ve had 4 miscarriages. This last one the hardest at about 11weeks this past May & I have PCOS. I just want to know what to ask at my doctor and if I should even keep trying at this point. I can’t hurt my heart anymore.
I’m very sorry for your loss and your suffering/pain and I hope you are physically feeling better I know that you will never be able to forget about this experience but I also hope you can emotionally heal
Two things I have to say: Whomever disliked this video; shame on you! This is a terrible topic to have to talk about, and Erin did such a wonderful job at being frank and open about her experience. Erin, you're amazing. I've been watching you for years now, so much so that I feel like we're friends. I am grieving with you and for you. I can't imagine how you are feeling, but you are so strong and brave to talk about this and try to help other women going through this. Much love to you and Matt.
Yes, Erin I'm so sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing this with us I couldn't imagine how difficult this was for you to talk about but hopefully it will help other women that are going through this
Yes Jean Gosset, some people are just haters if you don't like a video just keep scrolling until you find a video that you want to watch instead of disliking someone else's video, I have been a fan of Erin's for a very long time and I will forever be a fan of hers
Sometimes I think some of the dislikes are because they disliked that she went through this and don’t realize what the dislike button is actually for. Also you will have those trolls who dislike videos to be rude.
I have an additional tip I’d like to mention just as a medical person who has heard too many stories about water toxicity. Since you’re losing a lot of blood and trying to drink a lot of water, try to also drink little sips of something like Gatorade or Powerade. If you get the original kinds, you’ll get some electrolytes to help your body take in water and you’ll get some sugars to give you energy. Little sips or watering it down a bit helps make it easier to drink and will take away a little bit of the danger that could come with losing blood and tissues. My heart goes out to you, Erin, and all the women who have to go through this.
I now finally understand why they say going through a miscarriage is one of the worst experiences a woman can go through. Why don’t we ever talk about this stuff? You’re so brave getting on here and telling this story for other women to hear and relate to. I’ve never personally experienced it, but if I ever do at least I’m more prepared of what can happen. Thank yiu
Even if you dont have this experience and the pain portion is "easy" the grief you go through loosing your child is horrible no matter how far along you are!
Miranda Stephens absolutely. We should discuss this more in mainstream. I can’t even fathom the emotional pain that you feel. As a woman, my heart bleeds for them
@@peachxtaehyung also the shame that tries to creep into your internal monologue after you lose a pregnancy... "It's the most natural thing in the world, and you can't even do this right" or "If only I'd been more careful/a better potential parent/a better human, I could have done this and not cause this grief for my spouse/my friends/our families", just as a few examples. And I had an easier experience of it than Erin, as I was 10 weeks along, and had found out that the foetus had never developed properly, so the whole pregnancy had been doomed from soon after conception and nothing I did/didn't do could have affected that outcome.
Yes! We need to foster more conversations on women's health issues! Too many of us are completely caught off guard by circumstances we were never informed could happen
@@peachxtaehyung for me, the pain/ discomfort was worse than losing a pregnancy, but maybe it's because I didn't know until "it" happened. I'd be lying if I said it didn't bother me still.
Erin I am so sorry for your loss and this awful process you had to go through. One tip I would like to add is instead of using wipes and toilet paper, get a peri bottle. They give them to you after you have a baby because of all the blood. Fill it up with warm water and squirt it down there and just pat dry with toilet paper. It's less messy and can avoid a UTI. I still use them after I had my girls cuz my periods are much heavier now. Sending all my love and prayers 💜
i wish i saw this while i went through this exact thing.. this was extremely helpful and informative about your( similar to mine) experience! i lost my sixth baby and hemorrhaged alone after the medication i was advised, in my bathroom while taking care of a 10 month old baby. i held my baby at ten weeks in my hands and i will never ever do it again, im traumatized but i hope the pain passes.
I had Pergonal miscarriages with my fertility doctor...My Dearest Daughter is an IVF Baby...I miscarried her twin...it took a month... Miscarriages are Heartbreaking...Something you never forget...
Thank you for making this video. I am so sorry for your loss..I just went thru a early miscarriage week ago..prioreto that 2 year ago I had ectopic pregnancy in witch I was given a medication called methotrexate.. this medication this type of chemotherapy drug and of course your body to pretty much miscarry I can sympathize with you I was in the worst pain of my life for 5 days straight I could not get off my couch unless it was to go to the bathroom everyday the pink I'm getting worse I went up in the ER because I wasn't sure what was going on but they told me that my numbers were dropping and the shot worked I don't wish that pain on anyone. Thank you for sharing your story you're helping so many of us we are not alone ❤️
I don't know if this will help, but I've been through a missed miscarriage at 13 weeks and natural labor at 40 weeks. In my experience, the physical side of that missed miscarriage was more similar than most would think to actual labor. Miscarriage is not given the respect as a physical and psychological event that I think it should be. Frankly in a lot of ways given the emotional trauma of the miscarriage, I think it was harder to recover from. I'm so sorry, and thank you for sharing your story.
I just went through a cytotec miscarriage and I’m an labor and delivery nurse…it was the worst pain I’ve ever been through…your experience mirrored exactly the feeling of my cytotec miscarriage. It was torture and lasted so long. The bleeding was the easier part for me after all of the cramping.
I’m scared of having to take it again…but hearing you describe how it was easier the second time makes it sound better…hopefully I passed all the tissue
I end up in the hospital of how much blood I was loosing😭 had to change pads every 2 min of much I was bleeding but I give mad props for every woman who had to go thru this
I’m very sorry for your loss ... I had a miscarriage last year around October. My first and it was the worst feeling ever I went into a deep depression and lost 30-40 lbs with in 3 months I would cry my self to sleep no one understood ..
Im so sorry what you had to go though. My story is about the same but I lost my baby at 22 wk and ended up having to go the hospital and deliver her. but had all the meds that you were talking about and I would not wish on anyone. People say it gets better but I lose my baby back in 2011 and it still feels like yesterday. I remember everything of that day. Just know that your not alone.
I'm sick to my stomach for the pain that you went through. It's been 4.5 years since my ectopic pregnancy and this was the first Mother's Day that I wasn't bitter about not being a mom yet. I will continue praying for you and Matt. Thank you for educating and preparing other women for this process.
Oh Erin. What a horrific experience. I'm so sorry you had to endure all of this. I felt your pain when you described having to administer the medication yourself.
I am so proud of you for sharing your story it’s hard enough losing a child but having to do the process yourself hurts the worst. I think you because your strength gives me hope for myself
Haven't even watched it yet but just want to say I'm so sorry babe after everything you have gone through with your gynaecological problems your a beautiful strong woman with a wonderful husband and you will get through this and past this xxx
This should not be a process for any woman to go through. You should have had a D&C, and not gone through this horrible procedure at home... I'm sorry. This happened to me 30 years ago. I lost my baby at 12 weeks, and went on to have a beautiful baby boy (now 29) one year later. Again, I am so sorry...
I am now 13 weeks, I found out 13 days ago my baby doesn't have a heartbeat. Today I had a pink discharge and light spotting. Listening to this makes me feel better I am taking the natural approach however it's not over for me and I'm not sure how it will go or where I'll end up
I had a very similar experience. It was the most awful period of time I’ve ever been through. I’ve had many miscarriages and I’ve only ever done this once. The other few times I’ve had to have “help” I chose a dnc. I’m very sorry for your loss. I have just gone through a natural miscarriage at 13 weeks. ❤
So sorry for your loss Amy what you had to do to get rid of of it no one should ever go through that. There is hope I had two failed Ivf and 8 failed IUIs and the 9th IUI i conceived twins which is crazy but I lost all hope my mental health went down and I said if you ever want to talk about losing babies for me personally IVF is losing babies when it doesn't work then I'll consider it but for me personally I do
Sorry for your loss and what you had to go through. I’m new at watching your videos and my heart breaks for you both. My knowledge with your experience is the bleeding afterwards lasting for 6 weeks could have been remaining placenta which caused hemorrhaging. I know I’m watching a year later. I pray for you both. 🙏🙏
No one tells women that getting pregnant can literally put our lives at risk. I've had two traumatic losses and honestly feel like it's too scary to try again
My baby was living and surviving but her condition was so bad we were recommended to abort. I don’t want to write the details unless someone wants to know but it’s still very fresh for me and I was in for six hours my baby was out by the second dose. I was hospitalized because this was an abortion. And no one talks about this trauma and grief especially for the mothers. I threw up and that actually helped to push her out… I felt so empty and lifeless as she exited my body. After that I had to wait for the placenta to pass and even though I passed out most of the tissue I had to go in for a DNC to clean everything out.
Erin. I am so sorry. I hope if you decide to have another baby that is goes perfect for you. No one deserves this. You have already been through so much. I pray for only the best for you and your husband. I'm sorry. All my love and prayers are being sent your way. Thank you for being so brave to share your story.
I never post but I had a miscarriage and ...prayed to god to send the baby back to me when it was time. It sounds weird but I asked him to make the baby blonde and blue eyes so I knew it was my past baby. My husband and me are dark haired and no blue eyes. No blue eyes even in my family. If my baby came out blonde and blue eyed I know it was a sign from god. When I had my first baby he came out blonde and blue eyed. To this day everyone asks where did he get his eyes and hair from... I just laugh because if I told them they would think I was crazy. I truly believe god will send back babies heart when they are ready. Now I’m laying here with my son who is 5 now... I call him my angle. Im so sorry for your loss but you baby is with you and will never leave you. 🕊 thank you for sharing your loss. Someone out there really needs someone right now and this will help them not feel alone.
Thank you for this video.. unfortunately you don't know about these things unless you or someone you love goes through them. I had no idea how common pregnancy loss is untill I went through it myself...
You are so strong. I had two miscarriages between my two daughters. It's a loss you can't put into words. Thus video will help many. Thank you for your strength to make it
I had the same experience with this medicine. It was the worse pain I have ever experienced. I was laying on the floor, on the bed, in the tub. Just couldn’t get comfortable and could t stop moving around or rocking back and forth. But aside from all the pain, my boyfriend at the time had invited people over. So while I felt like I was quite literally dying my boyfriend was on the couch in our extremely small apartment with 6 people playing PlayStation and his sister and ex girlfriend on the Bed in our bedroom just ignoring me as I ball up on the floor. Nobody even asked if I was okay. Basically the most disrespectful experience as well as being traumatic and sad.
I think I just lost hair from sympathetic stress for this strong lady’s video. I’ve had two miscarriages that I know and the first one was about 9 weeks and it was the worst feeling in the world. Almost just like what she said but I don’t know how long I lived on the floor of the bathroom writhing and moving. I knew it was the worst. The second time I was less weeks and many years later and it was just a really bad period but normally my periods are so bad I can’t stand or walk or exist anyways. I also have at least 6 fibroids that will be removed through myomectomy soon but there will possibly be damage done to my tubes so I have to do an egg retrieval before I remove the fibroids. Every time I get sad about new information I later get an optimistic thought like “but my periods might hurt less? I’ll finally have a healthy baby?” But then the sad part comes back like in one of her videos when she said the thin part may rupture and she couldn’t safely carry. Now this is my new dear and also now I think they won’t remove ever fibroid because “frankenuterus” I’m still grateful to have her insight that doctors aren’t telling me. Oh may women please find their peace and happiness and keep it as soon as possible.
This is very helpful. I myself am about to go through this. I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant and my doctor did give me the choice to pass it naturally. Unfortunately, it has been almost two weeks and I haven't yet so I will be taking Cytotec. I'm so sorry you had to go through this. We will get through it and we will one day have our rainbow baby. Praying for you ❤️
I really wish they would have gone more into detail about this pill with you and fully explained your options. I am so sorry this happened to you. I just had a missed miscarriage at 9.5 weeks and I opted to do the d&c and I am so glad I went this route especially after hearing your story. Thank you so much for making this video because I turned to TH-cam to look up information when I was confused and scared as well. My heart breaks for you 💔💔
I remember contractions starting, using the shower to get through, and realizing and accepting that I was in "mini labor." It wasn't until my first live birth that I realized it had been the '12 week version' of labor. God bless all those who have suffered.
Erin I am so sorry for your loss it's never easy losing a baby. I was pregnant and lost my baby in October. Worst feeling ever. I ended up having a D&C because of my mental state I thought it was best. My placenta was still working as if the baby was still alive. We did name our baby it helped us grieve so much knowing we have a sweet Angel baby in Heaven. I am praying for you hun always. Love you so much and I am here for you always.
Thank you for this video. I have just gone through a similar traumatic experiance and am now finding comfort in knowing that my experiance is not unique and that my doctor shoud have infomed me better regarding how painful the cramps are ans how much blood loosing is normal. I ended up passing out because i lost too much blood and had to go through an emergency D&C. I was not prepared for an experiance like this and feel that doctors should not downplay this medication.
First off I am so sorry for your loss. I am going through the same thing currently at about 10 weeks pregnant. My body had naturally tried to pass but i was in extreme pain like you described a couple of days ago for about 8 hours all throughout the night. The pain went away during the day and i thought it was over. I ended up having the same pain the next night and went to the hospital where i was given pain medication and fluids. Went to the doctor today and was told i still have not passed everything. They gave me the medicine that you were prescribed and now am currently waiting for everything to pass. This has been a week from hell and I am just trying to get through it. This is the most traumatic experience I have ever been through. So incredibly painful and so emotional. Thank you for this video so I can feel not so alone. ❤
this is a sad topic to talk about and you are brave and helpful to those people who need to hear and know this. there should be more helpful and support from doctors on this situation its very sad that there isnt a lot.
This story hits me Soo hard, One of my best friends died as a side effect of taking Cytotek, she ended up having a amniotic fluid embolism after having to take the second round just like you had to. I'm Soo sorry for your loss and I'm sending you love and light
I’m going through this now l, got the misoprostol yesterday, this was the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life, I ended up passing out of the pain last night, my husband took me to the Er where I spent the night. My doctor really didn’t prepare me, she didn’t even prescribe pain medication. It was the worst day of my whole entire life
finally i am now a mother! i cant believe it, but all thanks to God that use Dr Ukpa as an instrument to help me shrunk my fibroids. please to those of you that are in same situation please contact Him on TH-cam..🤎
I admire you and respect you for willing to share your story on this platform in order to help who knows how many women. I’m really sad you had to go through this and believe me, I cried while hearing you tell your story in this video and the one prior. I don’t have any children yet and haven’t tried to either so I couldn’t possibly imagine the pain and sadness you and your husband are feeling. I have hope things will get better for you and soon.
I’m sorry you went through this. My first pregnancy I had an ectopic and did the medication, worst pain ever, so I can totally understand. My 2nd pregnancy was a missed miscarriage and I opted for the surgery. After this I had a healthy baby girl, and then another miscarriage. 5 years later I had an uncomplicated pregnancy and had another healthy baby girl. You got this! I hope your journey to becoming a mother is as smooth as it can be from this point on.
I am 49 years old with 4 chidden, and after our first son was born I got pregnant again when he was only 8 months old and everything was good until he got chicken pox's and I got them from him, I went to my 6 month check up to find out that she had past away so they admitted me and induced labor. so I went threw 10 hours of labor and delivered a 2 pound baby girl that was still born. that has been almost 30 years ago and their is still not a day that goes by that I don't think of her. But please remember sweetie that it does get easier.. OH and by the way we named her Tracy
I am experiencing a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks 2 days right now. Baby was exactly 12 weeks 2 days gestation so I’m too far along for medication. I have surgery in the morning. I did have a missed miscarriage previously at 12 weeks but baby was 9 weeks gestation so I used the medication. I was told not to continue the cytotec as long as things were happening. To only continue the rounds of cytotec if the previous round had not started anything. It’s crazy that your doctor had you continuing the medication if the first round had started things and seemed to be working. I nearly hemorrhaged to death on 1 round of cytotec and ended up having emergency D&C and blood transfusions. What a miracle that you survived to tell your story, seriously!
You are so strong!! Every woman who pass through this is. Is not just the fisicial, but also the psychological pain. I'm a woman and I thing about who we are incredibly, in every thing. It is a lot on us. Is not easy, but we can overcome. Some will need more help than others, and that's ok, because we are humans and we need love. I'm deeply sorry for who have to pass through this without there families, in this time. Remember you are strong, doesn't matter what happens! I think that this was a very important video. Thank you Erin, hope you get better, one day your dream of having a child will come true.
My heart really goes out for you! I am so so sorry for your loss!. Although I've never personally been threw it I know of 2 people who have and one said that going from struggling to concieve even if you misscarry it's good that your body has been able to make a pregnancy and there is still hope for another! 1 of them had 12 miscarriages and yet now has 3 rainbow children. I'm so sorry for the pain and trauma but there is always hope and I wish you all the happiness in your future x
I would love if Mama Dr. Jones could do a react video on this so we can get more questions answered. Thank you for uploading this video! I’m so sorry you went through this, your courage in posting this is amazing.
She just uploaded a video about miscarriages, very informative. She doesn't mention Erin though, she does mention how every woman's situation is different and experiences vary dramatically.
So sorry again Erin! Your very brave to talk about your experience. Its a soul destroying experience to go through and i will be sending wee prayers for you. Shame of those that disliked this video! Erin has been a very brave courageous woman, to share this and give others who are going though the same thing a little information and compassion,
My husband and I have had three miscarriages and with this last one l had to be on pergestrone for 4-6 weeks. My body naturally miscarried the three times but I had to take the pergestrone to stop bleeding because I was bleeding for a month straight. It’s sucks having to go through this. But in the end it made me a stronger person
I too am part of the statics. Have had 11 miscarriages but 3 beautiful and healthy babies. My last one needed medication. It was awful! For me it was by far the most painful! Dont get me wrong, none were "easy" but the meds made it feel so forceful. I too had horrible cramping/contractions, back pain, awful headache and threw up. It really did feel like labor. Labor with my 3 kiddos all had the same stuff including the throwing up. I'm so sorry you had such a hard time. My heart truly hurts for you and your husband. I didnt start having trouble until after my first baby so I cant imagine the trauma you went through since it was your first pregnancy. And a surprise blessing after so many struggles. I'm so sorry!!! Will continue to keep you and your hubby in my prayers!!
My daughter is having a cytotec miscarriage right now! She's 13 weeks 😢I was searching for videos to see how I can best help her. I'm glad I found your video.
I am so sorry you had to go through this. So many things you said made me think of my experience during childbirth and I couldn’t imagine doing this for a miscarriage. During my labor my placenta abrupted and I almost lost my baby due to so much bleeding and his heart rate dropping extremely low. I have tried to block out so much of this traumatic experience but some things I do remember is all the pain in my back and having to be in complete darkness. A top to anyone dealing with the back pain during contractions, have some tennis balls to massage into your lower back to press against the pain. I didn’t have that and I used my fists which worked as well. Praying for your mental and physical strength to get through this traumatic experience Erin! You are so brave and strong to share this with us and I know you are helping so many women by sharing this.
Thank you for sharing your story I’m so sorry for you loss. You are educating so many people by sharing your story thank you so much I have endless support and respect for you.
2 years ago I had a really bad and violent miscarriage, the dr i was seeing gave me to much of the labor-inducing medication. I lost a lot of blood, but I had to go through it twice. I was hospitalized for 3 days, it lasted for 2. it was horrible and traumatic.
I send you much much love, my sister had this issue 3 times, it was heartbreaking, thanks to God she is finally pregnant justa little over 16 weeks and everything is OK so far. I know you will be OK, it takes time, but you will be OK, and I pray for you to have a healthy baby in the future.
I think it’s so great of you to share this. I think it will help so many women. You’re such an amazing and inspiring person. Sending you all of my love. 💗

I've read every comment and have wanted to respond to each of them but just know it's hard for me to really emotionally come up with responses right now. Every single one of them have touched my heart. I've never felt more loved and supported by "strangers" in my life. Hopefully, videos like this can be helpful to other women going through this.

Can you please ask about multiple miscarriage and it’s relation to PCOS? I’ve had 4 miscarriages. This last one the hardest at about 11weeks this past May & I have PCOS. I just want to know what to ask at my doctor and if I should even keep trying at this point. I can’t hurt my heart anymore.
Please do! Sending you love.
I’m very sorry for your loss and your suffering/pain and I hope you are physically feeling better I know that you will never be able to forget about this experience but I also hope you can emotionally heal
Could you talk about PCOS too?
Two things I have to say:
Whomever disliked this video; shame on you! This is a terrible topic to have to talk about, and Erin did such a wonderful job at being frank and open about her experience.
Erin, you're amazing. I've been watching you for years now, so much so that I feel like we're friends. I am grieving with you and for you. I can't imagine how you are feeling, but you are so strong and brave to talk about this and try to help other women going through this.
Much love to you and Matt.
SAME
Yes, Erin I'm so sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing this with us I couldn't imagine how difficult this was for you to talk about but hopefully it will help other women that are going through this
Yes Jean Gosset, some people are just haters if you don't like a video just keep scrolling until you find a video that you want to watch instead of disliking someone else's video, I have been a fan of Erin's for a very long time and I will forever be a fan of hers
Sometimes I think some of the dislikes are because they disliked that she went through this and don’t realize what the dislike button is actually for. Also you will have those trolls who dislike videos to be rude.
bots are a thing too :)
You are doing a major service to all women who will go through this. I’m so sorry for your loss again.
Who ever disliked this was crying and clicked the wrong button
I think your joking but I did that on the last video( I obviously realised and liked after)
Thank you for sharing this very traumatic experience
I have an additional tip I’d like to mention just as a medical person who has heard too many stories about water toxicity. Since you’re losing a lot of blood and trying to drink a lot of water, try to also drink little sips of something like Gatorade or Powerade. If you get the original kinds, you’ll get some electrolytes to help your body take in water and you’ll get some sugars to give you energy. Little sips or watering it down a bit helps make it easier to drink and will take away a little bit of the danger that could come with losing blood and tissues. My heart goes out to you, Erin, and all the women who have to go through this.
Thankyou for posting this
I now finally understand why they say going through a miscarriage is one of the worst experiences a woman can go through. Why don’t we ever talk about this stuff? You’re so brave getting on here and telling this story for other women to hear and relate to. I’ve never personally experienced it, but if I ever do at least I’m more prepared of what can happen. Thank yiu
Even if you dont have this experience and the pain portion is "easy" the grief you go through loosing your child is horrible no matter how far along you are!
Miranda Stephens absolutely. We should discuss this more in mainstream. I can’t even fathom the emotional pain that you feel. As a woman, my heart bleeds for them
@@peachxtaehyung also the shame that tries to creep into your internal monologue after you lose a pregnancy... "It's the most natural thing in the world, and you can't even do this right" or "If only I'd been more careful/a better potential parent/a better human, I could have done this and not cause this grief for my spouse/my friends/our families", just as a few examples.
And I had an easier experience of it than Erin, as I was 10 weeks along, and had found out that the foetus had never developed properly, so the whole pregnancy had been doomed from soon after conception and nothing I did/didn't do could have affected that outcome.
Yes! We need to foster more conversations on women's health issues! Too many of us are completely caught off guard by circumstances we were never informed could happen
@@peachxtaehyung for me, the pain/ discomfort was worse than losing a pregnancy, but maybe it's because I didn't know until "it" happened. I'd be lying if I said it didn't bother me still.
I’m so sorry for your loss
Erin I am so sorry for your loss and this awful process you had to go through.
One tip I would like to add is instead of using wipes and toilet paper, get a peri bottle. They give them to you after you have a baby because of all the blood. Fill it up with warm water and squirt it down there and just pat dry with toilet paper. It's less messy and can avoid a UTI. I still use them after I had my girls cuz my periods are much heavier now.
Sending all my love and prayers 💜
Sending lots of love to you n every other woman who’s gone thru this experience ❤️
i wish i saw this while i went through this exact thing.. this was extremely helpful and informative about your( similar to mine) experience! i lost my sixth baby and hemorrhaged alone after the medication i was advised, in my bathroom while taking care of a 10 month old baby. i held my baby at ten weeks in my hands and i will never ever do it again, im traumatized but i hope the pain passes.
Hi. This is me. Today and im glad you made this video.
I had Pergonal miscarriages with my fertility doctor...My Dearest Daughter is an IVF Baby...I miscarried her twin...it took a month...
Miscarriages are Heartbreaking...Something you never forget...
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’ve never appreciate a video so much.
Thank you for making this video. I am so sorry for your loss..I just went thru a early miscarriage week ago..prioreto that 2 year ago I had ectopic pregnancy in witch I was given a medication called methotrexate.. this medication this type of chemotherapy drug and of course your body to pretty much miscarry I can sympathize with you I was in the worst pain of my life for 5 days straight I could not get off my couch unless it was to go to the bathroom everyday the pink I'm getting worse I went up in the ER because I wasn't sure what was going on but they told me that my numbers were dropping and the shot worked I don't wish that pain on anyone. Thank you for sharing your story you're helping so many of us we are not alone ❤️
I don't know if this will help, but I've been through a missed miscarriage at 13 weeks and natural labor at 40 weeks. In my experience, the physical side of that missed miscarriage was more similar than most would think to actual labor. Miscarriage is not given the respect as a physical and psychological event that I think it should be. Frankly in a lot of ways given the emotional trauma of the miscarriage, I think it was harder to recover from. I'm so sorry, and thank you for sharing your story.
You are so strong
I hope next time you will hold your baby in your hands you deserve all the happiness and luck
I just went through a cytotec miscarriage and I’m an labor and delivery nurse…it was the worst pain I’ve ever been through…your experience mirrored exactly the feeling of my cytotec miscarriage. It was torture and lasted so long. The bleeding was the easier part for me after all of the cramping.
I’m scared of having to take it again…but hearing you describe how it was easier the second time makes it sound better…hopefully I passed all the tissue
I am so sorry.
Thank you for sharing this information for future women who will experience the same.
I am going to pray for you and yours 🙏
I end up in the hospital of how much blood I was loosing😭 had to change pads every 2 min of much I was bleeding but I give mad props for every woman who had to go thru this
I am so so sorry.
Thank you for sharing this. Also; if you guys are trying to conceive again, I wish you guys the best and pray you don’t go through this again.
I’m very sorry for your loss ... I had a miscarriage last year around October. My first and it was the worst feeling ever I went into a deep depression and lost 30-40 lbs with in 3 months I would cry my self to sleep no one understood ..
Thankyou for being so honest and sharing this painful experience
You are very brave for talking about such a hard topic
Im so sorry what you had to go though. My story is about the same but I lost my baby at 22 wk and ended up having to go the hospital and deliver her. but had all the meds that you were talking about and I would not wish on anyone. People say it gets better but I lose my baby back in 2011 and it still feels like yesterday. I remember everything of that day. Just know that your not alone.
Not only are You an Angel...Your Husband is as well. May God Bless you Both my Dear.
I'm sick to my stomach for the pain that you went through. It's been 4.5 years since my ectopic pregnancy and this was the first Mother's Day that I wasn't bitter about not being a mom yet. I will continue praying for you and Matt. Thank you for educating and preparing other women for this process.
Oh Erin. What a horrific experience. I'm so sorry you had to endure all of this. I felt your pain when you described having to administer the medication yourself.
I'm so sorry to hear about this. You are very brave to upload this video. Thank you for providing super important information for other women xxx
I am so proud of you for sharing your story it’s hard enough losing a child but having to do the process yourself hurts the worst. I think you because your strength gives me hope for myself
* thank
So sorry for your loss
You have no idea how much I appreciate this. Thank you so much.
You are a warrior!!! 💕😘
Haven't even watched it yet but just want to say I'm so sorry babe after everything you have gone through with your gynaecological problems your a beautiful strong woman with a wonderful husband and you will get through this and past this xxx
Thank you for your bravery in sharing this story.
This should not be a process for any woman to go through. You should have had a D&C, and not gone through this horrible procedure at home... I'm sorry. This happened to me 30 years ago. I lost my baby at 12 weeks, and went on to have a beautiful baby boy (now 29) one year later. Again, I am so sorry...
so so sorry you have gone thru this terrible experience. Hope you are starting to feel better.
I am now 13 weeks, I found out 13 days ago my baby doesn't have a heartbeat. Today I had a pink discharge and light spotting. Listening to this makes me feel better I am taking the natural approach however it's not over for me and I'm not sure how it will go or where I'll end up
You are so brave and I respect you so much for making this video.
I had a very similar experience. It was the most awful period of time I’ve ever been through. I’ve had many miscarriages and I’ve only ever done this once. The other few times I’ve had to have “help” I chose a dnc. I’m very sorry for your loss. I have just gone through a natural miscarriage at 13 weeks. ❤
i am sorry for you and your family ... you have a remarkable talent for sharing your voyage. thank you
So sorry for your loss Amy what you had to do to get rid of of it no one should ever go through that. There is hope I had two failed Ivf and 8 failed IUIs and the 9th IUI i conceived twins which is crazy but I lost all hope my mental health went down and I said if you ever want to talk about losing babies for me personally IVF is losing babies when it doesn't work then I'll consider it but for me personally I do
Wow you are so strong, thank you for sharing your story
I’m so sorry for your loss. This is the scariest thing ever to go through.
Sorry for your loss and what you had to go through. I’m new at watching your videos and my heart breaks for you both. My knowledge with your experience is the bleeding afterwards lasting for 6 weeks could have been remaining placenta which caused hemorrhaging. I know I’m watching a year later. I pray for you both. 🙏🙏
I am so very sorry that you went through this. Thank you for being brave enough to share for others.
No one tells women that getting pregnant can literally put our lives at risk. I've had two traumatic losses and honestly feel like it's too scary to try again
My baby was living and surviving but her condition was so bad we were recommended to abort. I don’t want to write the details unless someone wants to know but it’s still very fresh for me and I was in for six hours my baby was out by the second dose. I was hospitalized because this was an abortion. And no one talks about this trauma and grief especially for the mothers. I threw up and that actually helped to push her out… I felt so empty and lifeless as she exited my body. After that I had to wait for the placenta to pass and even though I passed out most of the tissue I had to go in for a DNC to clean everything out.
Erin. I am so sorry. I hope if you decide to have another baby that is goes perfect for you. No one deserves this. You have already been through so much. I pray for only the best for you and your husband. I'm sorry. All my love and prayers are being sent your way. Thank you for being so brave to share your story.
I never post but I had a miscarriage and ...prayed to god to send the baby back to me when it was time. It sounds weird but I asked him to make the baby blonde and blue eyes so I knew it was my past baby. My husband and me are dark haired and no blue eyes. No blue eyes even in my family. If my baby came out blonde and blue eyed I know it was a sign from god. When I had my first baby he came out blonde and blue eyed. To this day everyone asks where did he get his eyes and hair from... I just laugh because if I told them they would think I was crazy. I truly believe god will send back babies heart when they are ready. Now I’m laying here with my son who is 5 now... I call him my angle. Im so sorry for your loss but you baby is with you and will never leave you. 🕊 thank you for sharing your loss. Someone out there really needs someone right now and this will help them not feel alone.
Thank you for this video.. unfortunately you don't know about these things unless you or someone you love goes through them. I had no idea how common pregnancy loss is untill I went through it myself...
You are so strong. I had two miscarriages between my two daughters. It's a loss you can't put into words. Thus video will help many. Thank you for your strength to make it
I had the same experience with this medicine. It was the worse pain I have ever experienced. I was laying on the floor, on the bed, in the tub. Just couldn’t get comfortable and could t stop moving around or rocking back and forth. But aside from all the pain, my boyfriend at the time had invited people over. So while I felt like I was quite literally dying my boyfriend was on the couch in our extremely small apartment with 6 people playing PlayStation and his sister and ex girlfriend on the Bed in our bedroom just ignoring me as I ball up on the floor. Nobody even asked if I was okay. Basically the most disrespectful experience as well as being traumatic and sad.
I'm so sorry. that sounds really terrible. no one deserves to be treated that way.
Im 24 and had NO IDEA about any of this! Shocking to say the least. Thanks for the insight.
I think I just lost hair from sympathetic stress for this strong lady’s video. I’ve had two miscarriages that I know and the first one was about 9 weeks and it was the worst feeling in the world. Almost just like what she said but I don’t know how long I lived on the floor of the bathroom writhing and moving. I knew it was the worst. The second time I was less weeks and many years later and it was just a really bad period but normally my periods are so bad I can’t stand or walk or exist anyways. I also have at least 6 fibroids that will be removed through myomectomy soon but there will possibly be damage done to my tubes so I have to do an egg retrieval before I remove the fibroids. Every time I get sad about new information I later get an optimistic thought like “but my periods might hurt less? I’ll finally have a healthy baby?” But then the sad part comes back like in one of her videos when she said the thin part may rupture and she couldn’t safely carry. Now this is my new dear and also now I think they won’t remove ever fibroid because “frankenuterus” I’m still grateful to have her insight that doctors aren’t telling me. Oh may women please find their peace and happiness and keep it as soon as possible.
I commend you for telling your story.
This is very helpful. I myself am about to go through this. I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant and my doctor did give me the choice to pass it naturally. Unfortunately, it has been almost two weeks and I haven't yet so I will be taking Cytotec. I'm so sorry you had to go through this. We will get through it and we will one day have our rainbow baby. Praying for you ❤️
I really wish they would have gone more into detail about this pill with you and fully explained your options. I am so sorry this happened to you. I just had a missed miscarriage at 9.5 weeks and I opted to do the d&c and I am so glad I went this route especially after hearing your story. Thank you so much for making this video because I turned to TH-cam to look up information when I was confused and scared as well. My heart breaks for you 💔💔
I remember contractions starting, using the shower to get through, and realizing and accepting that I was in "mini labor."
It wasn't until my first live birth that I realized it had been the '12 week version' of labor.
God bless all those who have suffered.
I’m so sorry you are going through this. This is such a valuable video to put out there. Best of everything as you move forward.
I am so sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss praying for you and your family
Erin I am so sorry for your loss it's never easy losing a baby.
I was pregnant and lost my baby in October. Worst feeling ever. I ended up having a D&C because of my mental state I thought it was best. My placenta was still working as if the baby was still alive. We did name our baby it helped us grieve so much knowing we have a sweet Angel baby in Heaven.
I am praying for you hun always. Love you so much and I am here for you always.
You are one of the strongest people that I have seen on this platform. You will get through this! I’m so sorry for your loss.
Thank you for this video. I have just gone through a similar traumatic experiance and am now finding comfort in knowing that my experiance is not unique and that my doctor shoud have infomed me better regarding how painful the cramps are ans how much blood loosing is normal. I ended up passing out because i lost too much blood and had to go through an emergency D&C. I was not prepared for an experiance like this and feel that doctors should not downplay this medication.
First off I am so sorry for your loss. I am going through the same thing currently at about 10 weeks pregnant. My body had naturally tried to pass but i was in extreme pain like you described a couple of days ago for about 8 hours all throughout the night. The pain went away during the day and i thought it was over. I ended up having the same pain the next night and went to the hospital where i was given pain medication and fluids. Went to the doctor today and was told i still have not passed everything. They gave me the medicine that you were prescribed and now am currently waiting for everything to pass. This has been a week from hell and I am just trying to get through it. This is the most traumatic experience I have ever been through. So incredibly painful and so emotional. Thank you for this video so I can feel not so alone. ❤
I am so so sorry for your loss. God bless you and your husband.
I am so sorry Erin and Matt about the loss of your baby send my love to the both of you take care ❤❤
You are so strong and you are helping women going through this
this is a sad topic to talk about and you are brave and helpful to those people who need to hear and know this. there should be more helpful and support from doctors on this situation its very sad that there isnt a lot.
Thank you for putting this information out here, it is truly needed. But I am sorry and I love you
This story hits me Soo hard, One of my best friends died as a side effect of taking Cytotek, she ended up having a amniotic fluid embolism after having to take the second round just like you had to. I'm Soo sorry for your loss and I'm sending you love and light
What?!? I’m on my first round now.
I’m going through this now l, got the misoprostol yesterday, this was the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life, I ended up passing out of the pain last night, my husband took me to the Er where I spent the night. My doctor really didn’t prepare me, she didn’t even prescribe pain medication. It was the worst day of my whole entire life
finally i am now a mother! i cant believe it, but all thanks to God that use Dr Ukpa as an instrument to help me shrunk my fibroids. please to those of you that are in same situation please contact Him on TH-cam..🤎
I admire you and respect you for willing to share your story on this platform in order to help who knows how many women. I’m really sad you had to go through this and believe me, I cried while hearing you tell your story in this video and the one prior. I don’t have any children yet and haven’t tried to either so I couldn’t possibly imagine the pain and sadness you and your husband are feeling. I have hope things will get better for you and soon.
Watching this to prepare for mines on Tuesday😭 Im literally scared and broken💔
Don’t do it
I’m sorry you went through this. My first pregnancy I had an ectopic and did the medication, worst pain ever, so I can totally understand. My 2nd pregnancy was a missed miscarriage and I opted for the surgery. After this I had a healthy baby girl, and then another miscarriage. 5 years later I had an uncomplicated pregnancy and had another healthy baby girl. You got this! I hope your journey to becoming a mother is as smooth as it can be from this point on.
I am 49 years old with 4 chidden, and after our first son was born I got pregnant again when he was only 8 months old and everything was good until he got chicken pox's and I got them from him, I went to my 6 month check up to find out that she had past away so they admitted me and induced labor. so I went threw 10 hours of labor and delivered a 2 pound baby girl that was still born. that has been almost 30 years ago and their is still not a day that goes by that I don't think of her. But please remember sweetie that it does get easier.. OH and by the way we named her Tracy
I am experiencing a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks 2 days right now. Baby was exactly 12 weeks 2 days gestation so I’m too far along for medication. I have surgery in the morning. I did have a missed miscarriage previously at 12 weeks but baby was 9 weeks gestation so I used the medication. I was told not to continue the cytotec as long as things were happening. To only continue the rounds of cytotec if the previous round had not started anything. It’s crazy that your doctor had you continuing the medication if the first round had started things and seemed to be working. I nearly hemorrhaged to death on 1 round of cytotec and ended up having emergency D&C and blood transfusions.
What a miracle that you survived to tell your story, seriously!
I hope sharing your story brings you some closure, thank you for doing your best to help others in your situation.
I’m so sorry for what you went through... but you’re so amazing for doing this video. You’re helping so many women.
You are so strong!! Every woman who pass through this is. Is not just the fisicial, but also the psychological pain. I'm a woman and I thing about who we are incredibly, in every thing. It is a lot on us. Is not easy, but we can overcome. Some will need more help than others, and that's ok, because we are humans and we need love. I'm deeply sorry for who have to pass through this without there families, in this time. Remember you are strong, doesn't matter what happens! I think that this was a very important video. Thank you Erin, hope you get better, one day your dream of having a child will come true.
My heart really goes out for you! I am so so sorry for your loss!. Although I've never personally been threw it I know of 2 people who have and one said that going from struggling to concieve even if you misscarry it's good that your body has been able to make a pregnancy and there is still hope for another! 1 of them had 12 miscarriages and yet now has 3 rainbow children. I'm so sorry for the pain and trauma but there is always hope and I wish you all the happiness in your future x
I would love if Mama Dr. Jones could do a react video on this so we can get more questions answered. Thank you for uploading this video! I’m so sorry you went through this, your courage in posting this is amazing.
She just uploaded a video about miscarriages, very informative. She doesn't mention Erin though, she does mention how every woman's situation is different and experiences vary dramatically.
So sorry again Erin! Your very brave to talk about your experience. Its a soul destroying experience to go through and i will be sending wee prayers for you. Shame of those that disliked this video! Erin has been a very brave courageous woman, to share this and give others who are going though the same thing a little information and compassion,
My husband and I have had three miscarriages and with this last one l had to be on pergestrone for 4-6 weeks. My body naturally miscarried the three times but I had to take the pergestrone to stop bleeding because I was bleeding for a month straight. It’s sucks having to go through this. But in the end it made me a stronger person
I too am part of the statics. Have had 11 miscarriages but 3 beautiful and healthy babies. My last one needed medication. It was awful! For me it was by far the most painful! Dont get me wrong, none were "easy" but the meds made it feel so forceful. I too had horrible cramping/contractions, back pain, awful headache and threw up. It really did feel like labor. Labor with my 3 kiddos all had the same stuff including the throwing up. I'm so sorry you had such a hard time. My heart truly hurts for you and your husband. I didnt start having trouble until after my first baby so I cant imagine the trauma you went through since it was your first pregnancy. And a surprise blessing after so many struggles. I'm so sorry!!! Will continue to keep you and your hubby in my prayers!!
My daughter is having a cytotec miscarriage right now! She's 13 weeks 😢I was searching for videos to see how I can best help her. I'm glad I found your video.
I just want to send you love. Tons tons tons tons of love💗💗💗. You are so brave!
I am so sorry you had to go through this. So many things you said made me think of my experience during childbirth and I couldn’t imagine doing this for a miscarriage. During my labor my placenta abrupted and I almost lost my baby due to so much bleeding and his heart rate dropping extremely low. I have tried to block out so much of this traumatic experience but some things I do remember is all the pain in my back and having to be in complete darkness. A top to anyone dealing with the back pain during contractions, have some tennis balls to massage into your lower back to press against the pain. I didn’t have that and I used my fists which worked as well. Praying for your mental and physical strength to get through this traumatic experience Erin! You are so brave and strong to share this with us and I know you are helping so many women by sharing this.
Thank you for sharing your story I’m so sorry for you loss. You are educating so many people by sharing your story thank you so much I have endless support and respect for you.
2 years ago I had a really bad and violent miscarriage, the dr i was seeing gave me to much of the labor-inducing medication. I lost a lot of blood, but I had to go through it twice. I was hospitalized for 3 days, it lasted for 2. it was horrible and traumatic.
ps: it almost killed me.
I send you much much love, my sister had this issue 3 times, it was heartbreaking, thanks to God she is finally pregnant justa little over 16 weeks and everything is OK so far. I know you will be OK, it takes time, but you will be OK, and I pray for you to have a healthy baby in the future.
Oh Erin. I'm so so so sorry. I love you I love you I love you.
I think it’s so great of you to share this. I think it will help so many women. You’re such an amazing and inspiring person. Sending you all of my love. 💗
I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope the best for you and Matt in the future.
Thank you for sharing your story 💕
I am sorry that you had to go through this. Thank you for your bravery to share the story.
