Missed miscarriage-unsure of next option

Hi everyone,
Firstly, what a great support this forum is, so reassuring to know other people feel the same as I do right now.
I went for a 10 week scan last fri and found that the baby had stopped growing at 8 weeks and there was no hb. Devasting news, totally knocked me for 6 as I totally look pregnant and still feel so sick.
I have to go back next fri to confirm pg loss and to tell them what I want to do next.
Options they've suggested are wait and see, tablets or d&c.And I'm really not sure what might be best for me. I've had no bleeding and not much cramping and because I still feel sick the placenta doesn't seem to have wised up to what's happening so it seems unlikely to me that I might miscarry soon but who knows.
Also not sure I want to take tablets as I've read somewhere that u have to wait 3 months after these to ttc and think I'll prob want to fill the void left by this pg loss by ttc relatively soon.plus risks of a painful mc with lots of bleeding?

I have a 9 month old DS ( I know I should feel lucky to have one healthy baby and I do, but doesn't make this easier) and with him I went into labour over a month early and had a long labour due to cervical scarring from a previous lletz procedure so am wary of the surgical option and I don't want to create problems for a future pg by risking surgical scarring or damage, but on the other hand this seems like a quick way to draw a line under this horrible experience and get back to normal quicker.
Sorry for this drawn out post but I'd be interested to hear from anyone as to what they would do in this situation, as there's a lot of knowledgeable women on here with similar experiences and it's easier to be advised by women who've been through this instead of doctors and hospital leaflets
Thanks

Thanks for the update. Even when you're prepared it's still horrible to have the confirmation.

Good luck with the ERPC on Wednesday.

(Ellovera - sorry to hear you had an infection, that's incredibly bad luck on top of everything but good that you trusted your instincts and went back to get checked out).
