ababs I'm with you on the d&c. I got to 9 weeks with no sign of it happening naturally. The odds of anything happening to affect future fertility are rarer than the mc not completing & meds not working. Plus I didn't think I'd cope emotionally with it. My scan yesterday showed that my womb is fine, so no damage was done - I had mine 3 months ago.
The consultant yesterday was very frank about our chances, both naturally & with ivf. With the combo that he recommended, the percentage goes up to 52%, but he said we are only going to be in the window of opportunity for that up to me reaching 43. After that, he said donor eggs really are the way to go to get the same kind of percentage. He said that a previous live birth is a very good predictor of ivf success, as it proves that my body knows what to do with a good embryo. All of that said, the odds at 43+ are NOT zero. Just less than the optimum window. We paid £1050 for yesterday's consultation including all of the tests, which are incredibly thorough. I think even if we hadn't decided to proceed with ivf, it would still have been worth it, for knowing exactly what our natural fertility is showing. It's either that or keep stabbing in the dark (no pun intended) every month with no idea what's going on in our bodies. Worth it, in my opinion, but I'm one of those people who likes facts and hates uncertainty.
