Naturally, D&C or medicine?

Hi ladies, I am sorry for all of your losses.

I have an appointment in a few hours which I suspect will confirm that we lost our LO. I went in for my first ultrasound last week at what should have been 9.5 weeks and the tech could only see a sac measuring 7 weeks. At minimum I had to have been 8.5 weeks based on when I got my BFP. I have also lost most all of my pregnancy symptoms.

I haven't had any cramps or bleeding, so I suspect it will take a while for me to start miscarrying naturally. I'm sure my doctor will go over the options I have available to me. I just wanted to hear from some other women who have been through this to see what method you would recommend? I know it's a personal choice in the end, just curious about some of the pros and cons that the doctor may not mention.

    I'm very sorry you received this sad news. You may find similar stories from women on the miscarriage/pregnancy loss board, as most women on here have had a late loss, stillbirth, infant loss, etc. Again, so sorry.

    Oh! I didn't realize there were two separate boards.

    I'll try posting over there.

    I've had 4 natural miscarriages.  I would suggest to go naturally if you can, less scare tissue and easier on your system for it to be natural.  If your body won't move the tissue, then a D&C maybe necessary.  Your doc will be able to tell you the best!
