As everyone else has said, it's absolutely your choice to make and Michelle will probably be able to help you the most!!
In my case, I've had 3 m/c now and have had the D&C with all of them... mainly becuase my body wasn't recognising the m/c either.. the first time I was 10weeks but bub most likely stopped growing and passed around 6 weeks.. so it clearly wasn't going to happen naturally any time soon!! The last m/c I had though, I started to bleed and for me.. it was much worse than just going in for the D&C.. but everyone is different. With the bleeding came quite a lot of pain and I wasn't really prepared for the blood loss.. it was quite significant and after hearing all the options, I still chose to have the D&C. Each time for me, the D&C was not at all painful and I only bled for a couple of days.. with a bit of brownish discharge for a few more days after that. That's only me though and as I said, everyone is different. We were also told that we can start TTC again as soon as the bleeding stopped and we were emotionally ready, so another advantage for me.... we just want another bub so badly!!
Hope that helps but Michelle will be able to help with the pros and cons of each.
