"Inserted tablets before bed to aid with cervix dilation for the insertion of IUD. Mild cramps throughout the night, but then explosive diarrhea in the morning. Not pleasant! And the gynecologist was questioning if I actually used the tablets because the cervix was barely dilated!"

"My gynecologist gave me 2 pills, 200 mcg each. I took one the night before and then one 4 hours before my procedure. This was supposed to help soften my cervix so they could do a biopsy, since the 1st attempt was not successful. I did have some cramps similar to menstrual cramps. Unfortunately, it did not work, and she still was not able to get the sample she needed. My problem is now, I am a month and a half late for my period. I am 45 years old and could be perimenopausal. I have already ruled out that I'm not pregnant. I'm just wondering if the trauma from doing 2 unsuccessful biopsies caused something to happen...."

"I took this med for the IUD procedure the night before. I had no side effects, just a little cramping, but then, 2 days later, I started having heavy bleeding like I am having my period. My period just went off that Monday, and I inserted that Thursday night for a procedure Friday morning. I want to know how long will it stay on? I usually have 2 good days of heavy bleeding, and it's the 3rd day. Praying that it shuts off by Thursday."

"After reading the reviews of this drug, I was concerned about some horrible side effects! My experience was nothing like that. I took two pills the night before my endometrial biopsy, and the only side effect I had was mild cramping. It was similar to period cramps, uncomfortable but not anything like what I was reading about. In the end, I'm glad I took it because the doctor was able to perform the biopsy."

"Took Misoprostol pre-IUD insert. I had a little bit of cramping, but nothing as bad as the horror stories online!"

"I had severe stomach cramping after the procedure, followed by low-grade fever, chills, constipation, and migraines. This has definitely been an experience!"
