I have been started on cytotec and pitocin won't start for another 7 hours. I will tell you ladies how my induction experience goes so you all have an idea for the FTM's like me.
Cytotec, if you have multiple doses hurts! But only because it makes your lady bits super sensitive so any doses after the first one suck!!! And this includes cervix checks.
9 hour update!!!!
So after my first dose of cytotec I experienced mild cramping in front and in lower back. I started at a 2 and progressed to a 2-3.
A couple hours later
Next dose of cytotec (this application hurt like no one's business, cytotec makes your lady bits extremely sensitive). I then began having contractions every 5-10 minutes and eventually went to every 2-3 and were a constant 70-80 one the scale. I endured this for about 3-4 hours.
Another cervix check (hurt so much because of the cytotec) I am now 4 1/2 and contractions still every 2-3. I was due for pitocin in a hour and ask for the epidural before the pitocin because I knew it would only get worse.
Recieving my epidural was a breeze but still freaked me smooth out because I am terrified of the unknown and needles. But finally got numbed up!
I am still experiencing labor shakes and chills, nausea and a mild headache(from crying).
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
When does the doctor normally start checking you to see if you have started dilating?
So I keep feeling these lil sharp pains on my right side. You do get pains like that before you start your period right.? Remember I had that dark brown spotting for a few hours last month on the 22. My period suppose to start today.
So now that I have my test strips when do I start testing! I am on day 2 of af today and it lasts about 3-4 days normally. I have about a 26-27 day cycle. Any help would be very appreciated thank you!!😀
A safe delivery
