I had a mc (natural), then dc1, then mc no. 2 (incomplete, ERPC), then, in the very next cycle, no. 3 (blighted ovum, ERPC), then dc2, then a gap of several years where we weren't ttc, then a missed mc and ERPC last year. Am now staring down the barrel of mc no. 5. Am supposedly 6+5 (very sure of dates), no bleeding, but scan on Tues revealed sac is not growing and first lot of bloods show hCG of 3700. Have been asked to think about management.
From the emotional/trauma side of things, I would prefer the ERPC. The hospital treated me very well last year, I cope well with GA and haven't experienced any problems after any of my ERPCs. However, I am very concerned indeed about the risks of a fourth procedure, specifically Asherman's syndrome. OTOH again, my body tends to hang on to missed mcs and going the expectant or medical route might see me ending up needing one anyway. I did have placenta praevia for a while with dc2, which I know can be associated with adhesions, but it had resolved itself by the third trimester.
I'd be very grateful for any views or experiences with large numbers of ERPCs.
