D&C or miscarrage and trying again

[Anya1984]

Hello ladies.....for those who know me, I was 6 weeks pregnant..went to u/c today and doc didn't see embryo in gestational sac which means that it stopped developing....on Tuesday Im going for another u/c to confirm...after that I either going to have a natural m/c (btw, does anyone know how to make it happen?) or going under D&C (how is the procedure done)?

My question is, how soon can we start trying for a new cycle after miscarrage?????

Im soooo depressed right now and would like some input.......

When I had my HCG done they didn't give me ANYTHINg, I was a mess, I cried and screamed cuz it was SOOOO painful!!!!I kdon't know , I hate this kind of things.....

So Im off to a d&c procedure today in 5 hours, I couldn't sleep last night, very hungry and very nervous....:(
I hope it goes welll....

SOOO sorry.  Go the D&C route....you never know when the miscarriage will start.  My friend had a m/c...she chose to go natural...nothing started for 4 full weeks.
   I found out at 10 weeks I m/c...baby stopped growing at 6 weeks but I had no signs.  D&C is the way to go.
   I completely understand your pain and it really really sucks.

Valium is an oral sedative. It takes the edge off and sometimes makes your sleepy. It's different than anesthesia.

When I had my sinus surgery I told them I was petrified of surgery so they put it in my IV before the surgery. It made such a difference. While I was nervous, it didn't make me a hysterical mess and calmed me down. I literally walked into the surgery room and laid on the table and then they started the real anesthesia and I was out.

When I had my HSG, I asked for valium before hand. I took it an hour before the HSG. Again, it took the edge off. I'm terrified of needles, procedures so if I didn't have it, I would have been a hysterical mess and would have walked out before it was done.

While it's very hard, you can't think of it as scraping your baby away. Sometimes the body knows what is the right thing to do. It will work out for you.

Hi, my hubby will drive me there and pick me up...I know that the harderst time for me will be preparation time before the procedure, they want me there 1.5 hours before!!!!!
What is valium? they will give me light anasthesia but I usually don't take it very good afterwards....
When did you have crramps? When and how did they dialate your cervix? That's just sooo scary...even if I am out, I just can't stand the thought that they will be inside of me scraping my baby away..:(

Don't worry, you will be just fine.  I know its hard to relax, but honestly it is a physically very easy procedure.  Since you will be under, you won't know anything until you wake up.  They will give you crackers/juice after you awake and monitor you for awhile until you seem OK to go home (mostly so the anesthesia wears off).  

The hardest part for me was just waiting around before and after the procedure, I really just wanted it over.  The procedure itself is very quick.

Someone will be picking you up, right?  You will just be a bit woozy afterwards.

The in-office procedure was not painful, they gave me valium before and local anesthesia during.  It felt light strong menstrual cramps, but only temporary and went away right after.  But sounds like general anesthesia might be best in your case.

It will be ok. Try to take it easy. Maybe you can ask for a mild valium or something for today? this way you can take it when you get home.

Wishing you all the best. :(
