Should I opt for a D&C?

[Almond301]

Hi everyone,

I've had a rollercoaster past few weeks and now trying to find a way forward. Found out I was pregnant with my 1st baby on 10th July, a week later had a big bleed, got referred to the EPC and they thought I had a blighted ovum twin that I was loosing (hope for 1), had another big bleed few days later and went back for another scan which turns out its not a twin but a blood clot (:-(). They say wait so few days later I go in for another scan and the clot has got so big they can't see the sac (6 weeks ish pregnant). They tested my hcg and yesterday I found out it has dropped by half.

I haven't had any bleeding for over a week and thought things had calmed down. At least I know now and can move on but I wondered what the best treatment to miscarry was? I don't think I can face weeks of bleeding and would love to try again soon. Any advice?

Sorry you're going through this.

When I had s mmc at about 12 weeks I decided to let it happen naturally but 2 weeks later I had still had very little needing and ended up going in for surgical management anyway. u think having surgery helped speed up the end of the physical process although it was difficult dealing with the emotional side of it on a busy gynae ward compared to at home.

The surgery was quick, I had no pain after and bled for a few days but not as heavy as a period for me.

Hi Almond, sorry to hear you are going through this horrid time. Personally I would have the D&C. I have had both a D&C and letting nature take its course miscarriages. When I let nature take its course it was more painful and I bled on and off for three months. The D&C was over and done with in a couple of days. It's probobally over with quicker with surgery from a physical point of view, and you can ttc sooner. I would choose surgery every time, and at least you are not left wondering when it's going to end or prolong the physical and mental when is it going to end anguish. But at the end of the day it's your desicion. Whatever you decide just make sure you give yourself enough time to grieve and recover physically and mentally.

I wish you good health with whatever you choose and good luck for the future
