1:00pm - H inserted 4 little octagon pills into vagina called Misoprostol. Lay down for 60 minutes to allow pills to dissolve. Started crying.
2:30 - Got up, wandered around.
2:45- Went pee, very minimal pelvic cramp. Back to lay down.
3:08- Took a T3
3:50- A few more cramps. Took another T3 (yes I'm allowed). Went to bathroom again. Stomach cramps when sitting. Some red blood starting to flow.
Wandered around. Searched Internet. Feel the need to #2, but worried about forcing in case clots and pain. Sat on toilet...Red blood when wiping so something working. Filled hot water bottle for tummy. Prop myself halfway up on bed. Tired but worried about waking up with cramps and blood.
4:50- Some more stomach cramps. H comes to rub belly.
5:15- Another IBprofen. Cramps getting really bad.
6:00ish- Time becomes fuzzy as pain is really strong now. Sit on toilet as pain seems to subside there. Feel leakage, call H over. Passed a little blood, started dry heaving. Ready to vomit. Major cramps. Feel more leakage. H started rubbing my back. More dry heaving into the garbage. Passed stringy blood, with something that looked like a starfish(H)/seahorse(W). Looked in toilet. H and I both started dry heaving. Started crying. Started shaking. Sat on toilet for another 20 minutes. Cramps seems to subside.
6: 15- Call nurse at Hospital. Minor abdominal pain. Wonder how come there hasn't been much blood. Please tell me the worst is over.
8:00- Pee again. A lot of blood, felt some clots, but couldn't see the bottom of the toilet. Nothing as bad as 5:00 was.
9:40- Pain starting again. Took 2 more T3.
10:30- More thick blood in toilet.
11:30ish- Drift off to bed. Mild cramps.

6:44am - Wake up. Bathroom. Gush of blood. Just heavy bleeding, like a heavy heavy period.
Present - Minor bleeding because I'm not moving around too much. Seems as most blood comes when sitting on toilet. Mild cramps.

Thanks to Always for creating their heavy overnight pads. Thanks to Tylenol for creating a heavy pain med called T3. Thanks to the tv for having a nice long epic like Forest Gump come on tv when we first started the meds (time flew by). Thanks to the clinic for checking up on us. And thanks to all the girls and guys who gave me unconditional support leading up to this.

Thanks to H who was there with me though out the whole thing. With this we've become closer, and feel that because of this we can accomplish anything together. I love you!

Now let's get past the last 24 hrs, so we can focus on the emotional and mental realization of what has really just happened.
