I wonder is anyone around this morning who knows if I can have EPRC once MC bleeding has started?
I had some light bleeding over a week ago and am booked for a scan tomorrow but started properly bleeding this morning (6wks).

I really really didnt want to MC naturally again but maybe I have no choice. I feel sick at the thought.
I'll call my GP when open but thought someone here might know.

You can, as in no medical reason why not, but in my experience EPU v reluctant to agree to ERPC if it looks like you'll MC naturally. I would think on a very practical note by the time you can get seen at EPU then ERPC booked it may all have happened already. I'm sorry, I think the least that should happen in this horrid situation is that you get to make a real choice about management and have the ERPC if that's your preference, but that hasn't been my experience.
I don't know if it helps but my body seems to have got 'better' at the physical process and I've coped better and it's been less scary subsequent times. I had a v bad experience first time and ended up in hospital, the next three Sad have been less horrendous. All at 8-10 weeks.
Talk to GP, you have nothing to lose.

Thanks. GP calling me back but receptionist reckoned its just a case of waiting it out.
I don't know how you cope with 4.
I guess its rubbish however it happens but you are right, i can definitely cope better this time. Much better prepared.

I'm sorry you're going through this Rainbow - have seen a couple of your other threads. Unfortunately my experience was similar to Baking - once my MMC was diagnosed it took a few days to be booked for ERPC even though I immediately said that was what I wanted and that I needed it to be ASAP for my own sanity!

Not been through natural MC personally however hopefully it won't be too physically traumatic for you with it being fairly early in the pregnancy, and please come on here for support with the emotional side of things Flowers

Hi. Staying at home. Hoping it will be easier this time. Has escalated already so at least maybe its going to be quick. Really sad. But its been a miserable time obsessing about everything over the last couple of months. Almost a relief to just give up and be sad.

Rainbow I'm sorry that I can't help, as I still waiting for my epu appiontment after finding out that I've had missed miscarriage at a private reassurance scan on Tuesday.

The support I've had on here is helping me through, theses ladies are fab and I hope it can offer you the same.

All I can offer is a virtual hand to hold and hugs. Thinking of you xxx
