Other options besides D&C

jjames2901

So I'm in the process of my second missed miscarriage. The first one I had a D&C. The current one I'm still not showing any signs of miscarrying naturally and the only other option they gave me was to have another D&C. I asked them about that pill you can take but they said I would need to get that at an abortion clinic. I need your help here ladies. Is there something else I can do, or should I just get the D&C?

Thanks!

First off, Im so sorry for your loss.

I dont understand why they wouldnt havee the pill at their office- or at a pharmacy.  If it was me, Id got with the D&C, but personally, I have zero patience.  Good luck with whatever you choose.  And again, i'm so sorry for your loss.  ((BIG HUGS))

If you didn't have any problems with the first one... I'd do another D&C... I just think that it was emotionally easier for me that to have to pass the baby on my own.

My doctor confirmed I had a miscarriage this past Tuesday and prescribed cytotec to aid the natural miscarriage process.  I don't know if that is the pill your doctor was referring to.  I took that the same day and it caused the most severe cramping and pain I have ever felt.  Most of the heavy bleeding and cramping occurred that day and was over within 3-4 hours.  I am still bleeding slightly now.  My doctor preferred to go the natural miscarriage route to avoid any potential risk of scarring as a result of the D&C. 

 I am really sorry for your loss.  Good luck and take care of yourself.

I have had a natural miscarriage, natural miscarriage induced by cytotec and 2 d&c's.  The "easiest" was the D&C.  I am sorry for your loss.  GL.

i think it might depend on how long ago you lost the baby.. like for me it was 3 weeks and they wanted me to go right to the hospital then and there.  It can be dangerous, and they told me taking that pill was not an option.  I had a good experience with my D&C - relatively quick, painless except for a few cramps after.. it was over quickly and I was able to move on.
