For those that had a D & C and tried straight away after m/c

[Tuesday's Child]

I'd been bleeding small amounts of brown blood for almost a week before I went to see a doc. I had called the hospital several times but was told it was old blood and I chose to wait it out. When I did have a scan the baby had died a week before the bleeding had started. I chose to have a D&C, although the ER doc did agree this was best in my case and would have steered me this way if I hadn't chosen it for myself.

DH and I waited one cycle to try again but having the D&C allowed me to physically recover so that I could move on.

I understand wanting to let it happen naturally though....Part of me wished I could have allowed my baby to leave me in its own time (even though I knew he was already gone) rather than 'getting rid of it', ITMS. But the longer you wait the greater the risk of infection too. Not that a D&C doesn't have its own risks.

All the best whatever you decide. I'm so sorry for your loss
