Natural Miscarriage, D & C scheduled?
Hi Ladies,
I had a confirmed miscarriage on 9/10. The doctor said I was dilated and my body was "doing what it was supposed to" by getting rid of the baby, but I don't think I have passed a sac. He wants me to come in on Friday for a recheck. Did any of you ladies that had a natural miscarriage also have to have a D & C? Thanks for your help.

Re: Natural Miscarriage, D & C scheduled?
I'm so sorry for your loss.
My m/c was confirmed on 9/7 and I have yet to pass the sac (I should've been 9 wks 1 day at that time, but still measured at 8 weeks). I have a f/u appt tomorrow and we're most likely going to schedule a D&C since it seems to be taking so long for my body to do it on it's own.
My doctor gave me a choice and I did the natural way. I don't like hospitals and thought it would be more tramatic and take longer to recover doing a D&C. Doing it naturally though, I did have to go through contractions at home with only vicadin for pain. I spent 2 hours in deep pain but for me it was better than going through surgery. Hubby was there though to help me through it.
I had a natural m/c on Sept 1-2, I had bleeding and horrible cramping and passed a lot of clots. At the end, I passed what I thought was the sac.
Since then, I have been getting my blood levels checked and my levels are still going down (Aug 31-15,000; Sept 2-6,700; Sept 7-575; and Sept 9-207). My doctor also wanted me to get a follow up ultrasound to make sure I had passed everything. The ultrasound concluded that I had NOT passed everything. So now i have a doctors appt tomorrow afternoon to decide what we should do next. I am thinking he would like me to get the D&C just to make sure everything has passed.
