Re: WENDY>>D&C NOT NEEDED!

August 9, 2001

Dear , there is an alternative to D & C for missed abortion. I had a

missed abortion and with 2 D & C that were not successful.... the Drs were

unable to retrieve my baby (it was trapped in scar tissue). So my new Drs

tried doeses of methotrexate (which stops the developement of cells)

followed by misoprostal to " induce labor. " This is a nonsurgical option

that all women should know and Drs FAIL to tell us. I asked my old Drs for

nonsurgical options and they told me there were none!!!!! I hope this

helps. I am sooo behind on emails and dont know why you are asking this

question... (I read my emails from most current to older). I may write more

as I continue to read. Love, eliz
