Hi smegs,
I am very sorry for your loss.It totally sucks that we have to go through this, nature can be so cruel at times. I had a blighted ovum, discovered at 8 weeks 3 days and was given a choice of a d&c or to let it happen naturally. I opted for a d&c because i just felt I wanted it to be out of me so I could get on with the healing process. Unfortunately with the first d&c they didn't manange to get everything and so 5 days after I began bleeding and cramping which resulted in me having a 2nd d&c a week ago today. By the time I went into theatre I was passing clots and in quite a bit of pain.I found that to be fairly harrowing and was relieved when they took me to theatre. For me, if this was to happen again I would still opt for a d&c, but i think it's an entirely personal decision. I will say that I have found the whole experience to be quite draining esp. having to have 2 GA's.After both my d&c's I had no pain except for when I first woke up which was like bad period pain.I've had no pain and very little bleeding since. I was put on anibiotics which has resulted in a disgusting case of thrush, I even have it in my throat (eeewwww) due to being so run down from the procedures. Anyway, that's my experience. I hope everything goes ok for you no matter what you decide and my thoughts are with you.
