Miscarriage - what to do?

Today after four weeks of spotting and bleeding on and off I finally was told my pregnancy is not viable. We've been for four scans which have shown different levels of growth and then today which showed a heartbeat however the growth is not enough and the heartbeat is way too slow. I've been told this pregnancy is not viable 😔.

I've to go back on Monday to see if the heartbeat has stopped as until this happens they can't treat a miscarriage. Afterwards I have the option of naturally passing it (waiting it out), medical management or a MVA. I don't want to wait it out and the staff at EPU agreed, clearly my body isn't passing it so it could take weeks. I had a MVA at the start of September and while the staff were fabulous it was awful, I found it quite painful and traumatic. But I don't really like the idea of having the medication then being sent home to miscarry. I'm scared of what I'll experience or see I think.

So... Wise people, what do I do? I should mention I'm going away on a work trip in two weeks so would really like this to be done with before then.
