You haven't had any bleeding or cramps though, have you? I don't see why the D&C is necessary yet. Seems very rash in my opinion!
Looking at the dates you've supplied, you're a month out so is it possible you actually missed your last period or didn't notice it but you weren't actually pregnant? My periods are like clockwork so that would be impossible for me but it's a very likely situation for many women out there and it would explain why the scan dates are a month behind the dates according to your LMP.
I'd be waiting a little longer before getting a D&C. Often a heartbeat won't show on a scan until 8 weeks. What was your midwife friend's reasoning for the D&C? I just don't see the point unless it's completely obvious you are miscarrying so cramps, bleeding and no heartbeat.
i agree. doctors dont see you until 8 weeks or more, cos they cant detect a heartbeat.
i know it's really hard but seems rash to me too.
your dates arent very accurate so it's a bit hard to tell.
i really hope you'll wait at least anotehr week, hun.. it is your decision and a hard one.. but maybe just wait.
as taurean has said you havent had any mc symptoms...
I hadnt had any mc symptoms thats right, thats what was making everything so confusing.
BUT, i am like clockwork with my cycles and i had, had a positive HPT 4 wks before the scan that put me at 5wks 6 days.
I went in on friday and asked that they make absolutely sure before going ahead with anything. They were very considerate and agreed with me that we should make sure. Unfortunately it was a mc and it was recommended we go ahead with the d and c.
Thankyou all for your help and support, it has been much appreciated.
