Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 hi everyone I had it confirmed this morning that I have had a 'missed abortion' at 9 weeks. THey have given me the option of either a d & c or letting things progress naturally. Because of my history, I have said I would prefer the natural approach, and they have suggested I leave it another week. Does anyone have any opinions as to whether I have done the right thing? On one hand I want everything over and done with, on the other I really don't fancy another d & c..... any advice much, much appreciated. Thanks. sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 Oh : I am so sorry to hear this! So very sorry. I would have been just about 9 weeks as well but I also miscarried although I did very early, prior to even finishing 6 weeks. I think you are right to try to go " natural " if at all possible. My OB said that given my Asherman's history he would allow me to go " natural " for miscarriage up to at least 8 weeks if not further. I would give your body a chance to take care of things on its own but if you still are not having any bleeding a week from now you might have to take steps to move things along. Would you consider taking that medication that is supposed to induce miscarriage? Methroxidate I think it is? Or could you find an A-list doctor to perform the GENTLEST D & C in the history of D & C's for you? Again, I am so sorry for your loss. Take care, I'm thinking of you.
