Miscarriage? D&C? Natural? - Page 2

post #11 of 67
I had a blighted ovum which is what I'm assuming you have. I did not have any signs of miscarriage or any bleeding either. My doctor explained to me that I could wait a bit to have the D&C, but that I couldn't wait too long because basically it's dead tissue inside your body and you can get a really bad infection. Maybe Monday's blood results will give you a better idea what's going on and the decision will be easier for you. I did opt to have the D&C. It was very hard because my dh & I had been trying to get pregnant for YEARS!!! But thankfully I got pregnant soon after that and had a successful pregnancy. I'll be thinking of you. Let us know what you find out on Monday.

I have been reading all of you replies and Thank you. I have had an emotional weekend... not trying to be too revealing here.. but if my pregnancy is indeed not progressing, then I am ready to get everything out and over with.. however at the same time, I am struggling because a D&C is what it is. I will have to have one, to rid of my unborn fetus and there are women out there that choose to have one for abortion reasons.. you know? I am going with most of your advice to wait and see what the bloodwork says tomorrow and go from there. I am in the process of student teaching and we are off this week on spring break. I would really rather wait, but I don't want to start to miscarry in the middle of class. Please pray that everything goes the way it's supposed to. Thanks so much for your support. We hadn't told many family members so it's hard to talk about it too much.

Please try to not think about it that way. There are many reasons for having a D & C besides an abortion. It's really just a procedure to remove any abnormal tissue from you uterus. It will be hard enough having to face the disappointment of a failed pregnancy without overlaying the guilt of connecting it to abortion. If it's not a viable ovum, then it's really not remotely related to abortion. I'm sorry for how this has all turned out for you.

I am offended.... I might be over reacting but I am still offended to say the least.

About what
post #16 of 67
Just the whole d and c/ abortion thing. I had to have a d and c because I miscarried and the baby wasn't going to come out naturally.I just thought it was offensive the way she typed that. To me that is one of the cruelest things to say I know it wasnt intentional but It still was upseting. Because I would of done anything to not of lost my baby. I didn't like the way she compared it to an abortion an abortion is a choice this wasn't a choice. I didnt wake up one morning and was like ok Im gonna go get a d and c today. That is wrong in my eyes. But thats just me. Its a really hard thing to go thru and people say oh it will get better or oh just get over it but it never goes away and it never gets better. you just learn to deal with it. But there are times when it just hits you like a ton of bricks.

I think it would have been much more kind and sensitive to the feelings and emotions of the original poster who is currently going through a very painful emotional time to not have made these comments public. On top of miscarrying a baby she obviously very much wanted, she probably feels like she has been kicked in the teeth because she discussed how she feels.

FYI: I have also had a miscarriage and D & C. It was an awful time and I'm thankful I didn't have to deal with other people's "issues" on top of my own pain and loss.

I would not do anything till your blood levels are way lower....I have had 3 m/c myself....my dr does not do d/c unless absolutely necessary because he said that they have found out that it causes scar tissue...so I never had any.......but dont let them talk you into anything that you do not feel you need to do....expecially with your counts being so high...many heartbeats have not been heard and then the next check up they find it.Stay strong

I have not had a mc and have thought about this for a couple of days as to what I would do. I would wait to do the d&c, get another check up to check for the heartbeat again and see how your levels are. Once the doctor can definitely determine your situation, then make the decision.
I was a teacher, so I understand your not wanting to start to mc during class, but I'm sure that if anything happened, the school would let you leave immediately, just talk to your principal first thing tomorrow morning and let them know the situation. I bled at 5 weeks with ds and had to leave school before lunch for a vaginal ultrasound, on the day of "back to school night". My principal let me go, no questions asked and even covered my presentation that night.
I'm so sorry you're going through this and I'm sending some good vibes for a heartbeat.

I need to clarify myself for some. I have no intentions at all of EVER having an abortion nor supporting one. I am having a HUGE spread of emotions at this time. This post was never intended to make anyone else's feelings be hurt by bringing up an abortion. I am not offending anyone, and if it were taken that way, that's not really my problem. Noah'smommy, you offered me really good advice and then feel as if you are offended. I was not referring to you and the D&C and abortion issue, you had to have one (just like I will probably have to) in the case of a miscarriage. I am sorry that you feel offended, you really shouldn't. If you read my post, it's more about my thinking... or rationale in my own mind to help me grieve and get through this. I am possibly going to HAVE NO choice in having a D&C because of my situation and decisions from my physician and myself. It enrages me that some women choose to have a D&C to rid their bodies of precious babies and fetus' that many of us would love to have a chance to have. ( I am referring to an abortion) However, there are cases where a D&C should be necessary, like now, with me and with you Noahsmommy. This is my second miscarriage, I believe too, that the feelings of loss never go away. I think about my lost babies more often than not. These are the times when I think maybe I shouldn't have posted on here, being afraid that someone else will make your posting more than it was/was not intended to be, instead of a time to get real support and help in such a trying time. I am so sorry to anyone else if I have offended you. If you really want to know about my bloodlevels, please email me personally or post on here, and I will let you know tomorrow on our decision.
Thanks again, to most who have helped me in such a terrible time. God Bless You.
