Medicin

If the miscarriage doesn’t start by itself you can choose to induce it with medicine (Cytotec).
If you want, an appointment will be made with a gynecologist. The gynecologist will insert the tablets into you vaginally, or explain how you can do it yourself. If the next day a miscarriage hasn’t occurred, tablets will be inserted once more. If this does not bring about the expected result, curettage will have to occur.

Advantages of medicine;

• If the result is as hoped, curettage is no longer necessary.

Disadvantages of medicine;

• Sometimes people find it scary to experience a spontaneous miscarriage at home.
• One of the possible side-effects of Cytotec is nausea.
• It is possible that Cytotec doesn’t, or only partially, induce a miscarriage. As a result, curettage might still be necessary.
