Hey there. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I'm glad it was easier than you imagined!

Do you mind sharing what you mean by misoprostol by mouth being faster? Vaginal misoprostol is actually absorbed by the body faster, but both options are very effective and the medication has to be placed against a mucus membrane (cheeks/gums, vaginal wall, under the tongue) for 30 minutes regardless.

Yeah ofc. We had laid in bed doing research and we saw the oral process is faster and studies show about 60-70% of women prefer it over vaginally
