D&C

[ashlou86]

So this is what it's come to. After 2 medical management attempts, 3 weeks after my missed miscarriage I'm in hospital for a d&c. I've been here for around 7 hours, haven't eaten for over 22 hours and have now been told my op in cancelled until tomorrow and I must stay overnight not to lose the hospital bed! Sorry to grump, but Jesus give me a break! I honestly don't know how much more I can take. I just need this to end. Every worst case senario seems to have happened. I hope the op goes ok and I can finally draw a line under this. What's everyone's experience with a d&c? Im having it as i have a 1.5cm piece remaining and still getting a positive pregnancy test, so cruel. How long did you wait until trying again? I'd be having a frozen transfer xx

I’m so sorry for all your going through, last year after my 2nd MMC I also tried medical management twice with no luck and needed surgery. Once I’d had it I did feel I could begin to grieve and the bleeding is over a lot quicker than medical management.

I took 6 months out of treatment this time because I mentally wasn’t in a good place but after my first MMC I tried again after 2 months so really I guess it all comes down to your own state of mind. I really hope this part is over for you soon and you can get home xx

Oh I'm sorry. This story sounds like what happened to me in October. After 2 trial of medical management, we went for surgery and on the day of surgery, I didn't eat and was not allowed to drink water. They kept postponing the time of surgery for one reason or the other, then around past 10pm or so, I was wheeled into the theatre.

The surgery went well and I would have opted for it if I knew it will be that fast and painless for me. The medical management was a torture for me, the pain was too much and on top of it the pregnancy didn't get evicted (if you get what I mean).

Who knows they might still do the surgery this evening but if you have ate, then it will definitely be tomorrow.

I wish you the best, the procedure is fairly quick and painless.

I had another FET 3 months after that.

Hey hunni I'm really sorry you are going through this it's really not fair. With my last miscarriage the medical management hadn't worked as 4 weeks on I was still getting positive results. I was booked in for smm, I think it's pretty similar to a d&c. Luckily I was seen in the morning, the op itself is relatively quick and I didn't really have any pain afterward. Its much better than going through the medical management. I hope that you don't have too much longer to wait. Between my first fresh round which ended in miscarriage and this one I only left a month before we started our fet which in hindsight was a bit too quick. This time we are having a couple of months off and going on holiday first before our final fet. I hope all goes well tomorrow xxx

I'm so sorry for your loss. I've been where you are two times in the last year. We didn't have ivf but we did start trying after 2 normal periods to track my cycle again and prevent any risk of infection. Good luck for a speedy recovery - choc and Netflix help xx

Very sorry to hear this, it's incredibly tough without the extra stresses. I opted for a D&C as soon as I knew, the procedure went well and I was up and abut a few days after. Proceeded with a frozen cycle 2 months after. If there can be a tiny plus side they say that your lining can be 'improved' from its renewal process afterwards. Keep accepting the support around you, sending hugs xx

I eventually had the procedure yesterday after waiting in hospital for over 2 days, but at least I'm hone now. No follow up appointment was arranged, is this the norm?xx
