D&C or MVA

[Mosshead348]

Hi ladies,

I’m looking for a bit of advice and hoping some people can give me their experiences (sorry if that’s too traumatic) would just like to understand which procedure to go for xx thank you all xx

Hi! I'm really sorry you're in a position where you need to ask this

As far as I'm aware the NHS doesn't do D&Cs anymore. They might still call it that but it's actually Surgical Management of a Miscarriage - which is gentler (less scraping, I think) and still uses a small vacuum. I had one last year and they called it an ERPC. It's the same as an MVA, although my hospital had another name for the same procedure for earlier miscarriages (as the procedure differed a little) and I think they actually called that an MVA. The terminology is a bit all over the place tbh.

Have you actually been offered a choice from the two?

Hope you're holding up ok. Happy to chat more about my experience. x

Hi, sorry for your loss. I had an MVA due to retained products from losing my twins at 16 wks. I found it really straightforward and was home the same day with pretty much no bleeding.
I managed to get pregnant within two cycles so caused no issues.

Hi there, sorry you're facing this.
MVA is what they call it now.
I went through this last year....I have attached the link for details (It explains what I went through on the day and other ladies added their experiences too).
I am now 30wks pregnant and fell pregnant a few months after the procedure.
I hope it helps.
Xx
