Is a D&C a must?
I miscarried on may 7th and the ER said I didnt need a D&C and that there was only a little bit of tissue left which wouldnt cause a problem.. anyone know anything about this?
No, you don't always need a d&c. I just had a m/c last Wednesday and the u/s tech said it didn't look as though I would need one. I had another round of b/w today to monitor my hcg level and make sure it continues to go down, have you had your levels checked?
I have an appt on wed, I hope it goes well. I just want this whole thing over with so I can move on. All I do it ponder it over and over again in my head :( Thank you though for your support!
No, they don't always do them. I opted for one because it was taking over a week after the missed miscarriage and I never started bleeding. They should monitor your blood levels and if they don't go down they may have to do one to get rid of the remaining tissue to prevent infection. I'm sorry for your loss :(
Thank you ugh it was such a traumatic experience :( .. But about the D&C they dont always do them? Hmm good to know. Thanks for the info!
First of all I am so sorry for your loss. Most docs do not like to do a D&C anymore unless there is a solid reason. Usually your body will take care of itself. If you still have numbers in a week they may consider it.
