new here. question: how long did you have to wait for d&c?

ChicagoWeded2007

Hello, just discovered missed miscarriage at 8w5d.  I have called the dr's office where I want to schedule the d&c. I have not eaten anything yet today, in the hope that they could schedule it today.  But they have not called back.  Is that a pipe dream?  How long did you guys have to wait.  I don't think I can handle waiting until Monday.

Also, do they always do them first thing in the morning?  Or could you have one in the afternoon.

Oh Chicago! I've been praying for you.  I'm so sorry to see you over here.  I don't have an answer to your question, but if you need to chat I'm here for you.

Again, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Hi.  Sorry you're here.  We found out on a Friday afternoon.  I was given my options and immediately chose a DNC (I needed it to move on).  I then requested that it was done that weekend.  They scheduled it for the next day (Saturday at 8:00 a.m.).

 At least in my case, I told them I wanted it done NOW and they respected that.  GL.

I'm so sorry for your loss.  I had my missed miscarriage discovered this Monday and was able to have the D&C on Tuesday afternoon.  My sense was that it was simply a matter of when they could book the OR.  I totally understand what you mean about not wanting to wait...even the 24 hours for me was really hard.  I hope they can get you in, but if not, I'm sure they will for Monday and that you'll make it through the weekend with the help of this board.

Oh Chicago, I am so sorry to see you here! Mine was discovered 2 days ago and I go in today at 1230.  I hope you can get in and get it done!! Big hugs to you!!

It's been my expereince that once the doc discovers/confirms the miscarriage they immediately give you your options.  If you choose D&C they will schedule you right then of call you later that time to confirm scheduling.  Normally it occurs within 3 or 4 days of the discovery. 

I had to be there at 11 for a 2:00 procedure but it probably depends on the facility you are having it done at.

I'm sorry.

I went to the ER last Saturday at 11 AM and was in surgery for a D&E 2 hours after my u/s where they discovered the baby didn't have a heartbeat. I was home by 6:30 PM

I found out on monday 9/14 that we had miscarried 2 weeks prior, my OB did the D and C on 9/16. I just wanted it done. I am sorry for your lost..

My miscarraige was discovered last wednesday and I had the d&c the first thing on Thursday.  I don't blame you for wanting to do it soon.

I had a missed miscarriage, so they just scheduled mine after 3 weeks of me waiting to miscarry naturally. But mine was scheduled for noon, so it wasn't in the morning. It was good that way actually, because I got to sleep in and not worry about not eating

They discovered a missed m/c for me this past Monday (just had d&c today).  They asked me when I wanted to do the d&c, they were willing to do it Tuesday.  I had to keep working, so I scheduled it for Friday am.

I asked about afternoon procedures too and the doc only does them in the morning.  I don't know if that is just the practice of OB/GYN's or what. 

Praying for your peace of mind as you wait through the weekend.

Oh no - I am so sorry for your loss and sorry to see you here.  When I found out about my m/c, they scheduled my D&C for the next day.  Then I called my regular obgyn and she was doing them at a different hospital the next day too, and asked if I would rather go to her and I said of course.  I have no idea what strings she pulled, but the people from her hospital called me at 6:30 the next morning, and DH and I were there an hour later.

I am so sorry to hear.  I hope you get a call back so you don't have to wait.

I am still waiting for mine.  I had a u/s yesterday which showed an occasional, faint HB.  No growth since Monday.  I scheduled a u/s for next Friday and the D&C right afterward, because they are hoping it will be over by then.  I hope so too...I can't take this anymore.

I am sorry to hear that

I am late to this post, so I hope you got your call yesterday.
