D&C ?

Sadly a transvaginal scan found an empty sac at 7 weeks + 1. There is no question of the dates so no hope. Sad

As this is a third miscarriage the talk was of tests for that and no talk of D&C at all. Having caught my breath, I'm now thinking that time is REALLY not on our side and I don't want to wait months for hcg to drop and periods to return if possible (it took ages last time and that was following a bleed which I haven't even had this time). One of the tests they are going to do can't be done until day 20 of my next period.

Should I go back and ask for a D&C - I don't really know anything about it, not having had one before?

I had a D&C after a MMC where baby died at 9+3. I initially wanted to opt for a natural progression but after reading that it could take weeks I decided to go for the surgical route so that I could draw a line and move on.

Definitely ask for one! I can see why they would refuse you.

I had a D&C in April after a MMC. I had a lot of pain and bleeding following it and Im unsure that I would have a D&C again if needed.

I'm really sorry for what's happened to you xxx
