ERPC or Medically managed - Which method would you choose and why?

[iggypiggy]

Hi all,

It might seem a bit premature posting to this forum - but I was given the news at an early scan last week (7 + 4) that the baby had a very slow heartbeat and was only measuring 6 + 4. Since the scan all of my PG symptoms have gradually disappeared and I just don't 'feel' pregnant any more, I also started some spotting which has been on and off all week - so have prepared myself for the worst

So I was just wondering - if you haven't miscarried naturally - and have to have one of the ERPC or Medically managed options - which would you choose and why? And would the ERPC affect your chance of concieveing in the future? Sorry - just want to be prepared when I have scan tomorrow as I know I will have to make a decision

thanks xx

Peoples choices are so personal, I wouldnt like to tell you what to do, but when I went home after a mmc for a managed mis I ended up going through a labour type process and two subsequent d and cs which was awful. Personally I would only have an erpc in the future as the way I did it was very traumatic. According to the docs at the time, it was also very rare so it probably wouldnt happen to you but noone warned me it could happen so you should know it is a risk.
