Retained products after missed miscarriage

Reassurance needed… Today I had a scan and received the news that I have 2.5cm vascular retained product following my MVA for a missed miscarriage nearly three weeks ago - the dr was keen for me to do 10 days of provera (progesterone) then stop which will induce a bleed and hopefully expel the retained tissue. I then have a follow up scan and if it is still there I will be a hysteroscopy. Has anyone else had this experience? If so did the meds work and did you cycle return?
I'm so worried that my cycle will never return or my womb is damaged somehow now and my fertility doomed, I could really do with some reassurance.

I had retained products after my MMC (medical management), but the doctors kept telling me it would resolve on its own and my body would pass it. About a month after I took the initial medication, I woke up one morning and stepped in the shower and felt a gush of uncontrollable blood, basically continued to bleed heavily and was rushed to A&E for an emergency D&C to remove the retained product. It had been there so long it had started to decay and I had an infection. As soon as I woke up from surgery, the bleeding had stopped and it was successful. I've now successfully ovulated and had my first period 6 weeks after the surgery. If I ever have to go through it again I would request the surgery ASAP, to avoid all the heartache and pain I had to go through to finally get this one sorted. I hope you manage to get everything sorted successfully.
