Surgical management

[Justkeepswimming20]

Hi all...i am waiting on a scan tomorrow from EPU to discuss my options following an incomplete miscarriage..how long did you have to wait for surgical management? Ty!

I found out last Wednesday and the closest appointment was today, so 6 days.

3 days. Although we chose to wait longer to think about our options

3 day after second scan and it was fine, cleared very quickly afterwards, had like you an incomplete miscarriage so had been bleeding 3 weeks by then.

I think the Epu is unreasonable to make people have two scans a week apart when it's definitely a miscarriage.

I had a complicated loss, suspected molar and once it was confirmed that it was no viable I had surgical management on the day a few hours later. I believe it would have been later if I'd chosen to be asleep for the procedure.

Thanks all..i just feel really sad about the whole thing..i had 1 3 years ago but was complete that time...just feel like it is dragging now..it will be my second scan today with the consultant...i just want some sort of management as been 3 weeks bleeding now and want to move on..

I waited 3 days for mine but I think that might have also been due to PCR tests at that time being slower and I had to wait for a negative result before they would add me to the list. No option is ‘good’ in this scenario and I am very sorry you are going through this but I found the surgical option the least worst as I didn’t know anything about it. I had minimal bleeding afterwards too and no pain.

Thanks all..i am booked in for surgical management 2moro..what is every1s thoughts about ttc straight after? How long did it take for periods to come back?

@Justkeepswimming20 you can't TTC until you stop bleeding (infection risk and infection can impact your fertility).

Otherwise, it's more about when you are emotionally ready .

Also takes a while for HCG to disappear from your body so make sure to test until negative. Can take a long time (9 weeks for me)

Hi,

I have just had surgical management (2 days ago) for a missed miscarriage.
I want to try again quite soon. Should I start taking folic acid again straight after?

Thanks

Sorry for your loss.

My period came back 6 weeks after my surgical management.

I started ttc after I stopped bleeding (3 weeks after) but I didn't conceive then. Conceived 8 months later.
