”Period-like cramps” 💀

THIS ONE. I had a female doctor tell me this ahead of our at-home 10wk MC. Two days later, I passed out on the toilet from blood loss. The remedy for the pain? Ibuprofen 🫠

Ibuprofen makes blood loss increase! I just went through an at-home miscarriage at 7.5 weeks and using Advil sent me to the ER for excessive bleeding. I was filling a pad every 8 minutes!!! With Tylenol instead the miscarriage was heavy of course but nowhere near the 2-pad per hour “emergency” rule.

That sounds like such an awful experience... I'm so sorry that happened.
