    Need help and advice on MC

    Hi All, am new here and was just wanting some help from anyone with the same experience as mine.
    I went for my dating scan and was 7-8 weeks....but no heart beat.....which broke my heart. Not knowing what to do next I rang my GP-OB and she decided to do a D&C as I live on a station in the middle of know where and thought the risk was too high if I had any complications/infections. So this was done, nothing to worry about, min. bleeding for two days after and all seemed fine and I was starting to move on...even riding my horse. two weeks later I started to bleed again....no biggie, just thought it was my period, a week later still bleeding and getting heavier....had bad bad bad cramps then major blood loss. I rang GP-OB she said lay on my back with legs in the air and call ambulance.....which for me meant the RFDS! Had a GYNO-OB do an internal in ED and removed some RPOC. In hos for the weekend an had scan on Mon which found i still had more RPOC even though bleeding had slowed over w/end. They wanted to do another D&C but I was not keen, sent home with medication to contract uterus to try to pass it but to no result. Another scan today revealed RPOC. Am now going to Spec.Gyno on tues....prob have to have a D&C. ALSO... Two scans.....four days apart....one said that it looks like I have a bicornuate or septate uterus....the other said no my uterus is normal. I am so confussed. And still cant put an actual date on my loss.....do I say the date of the scan...at 7-8 weeks now or somewhere in between......I still don't fully feel like I have lost her(sure she was a she) Any info would be great.
    If the Gyno wants to do another D&C do you think its a good idea?
    I feel fine, not sick. My body is starting to feel invaded by people looking inside it so often.

    Oh, hun, what an ordeal. Big hugs

    D & Cs, scary and inconvenient though they might be, are fairly safe and straightforward, and can be quite a good way to "reset" your clock - I certainly felt that I was most fertile in the 2-3 months after mine (but wasn't allowed to try)

    As for your uterus - were the scans done by the same people both times? Earlier this year I had two scans, one said I had polycystic ovaries, the other said they were normal. My doctor said to pay attention to the second one, which was done by a gynae-specialising sonographer (had it done in MFM) where the other one was just done by your average suburban jill-of-all-trades sonographer. Hope that helps you to come to some conclusions.
