Hi Everyone - I've been lurking on this board for the past couple of weeks, and figured I should really reach out to the group for advice. We found out on 2/20 that we have a blighted ovum (at least that's what I've gathered from all of my googling!), anembryonic pregnancy might be more accurate. I had to wait another full week for the follow up u/s, during which I made up my mind that the D&C was the best option for me.
It turns out that I won't be able to have the procedure until next week, and I didn't even set it up because I was so irritated with the scheduler/timeline. I then called my clinic and ordered cytotec.
I'm trying to figure out what's best for me, and finding it very difficult to make the call. I'm terrified of MC at home, but perhaps I'm over reacting? Or maybe it isn't the end of the world to wait another week or so for the procedure, of course MC could happen on its own while I'm waiting... Ugh.
At this point, its been about a week and a half since we found out, and emotionally I'm just ready to move forward.
I guess it boils down to this - would you be willing to wait a week or more for a d&c, or choose to get things started with meds? I could definitely use some experience/opinions from everyone. The experience with cytotec and natural MC threads have me in a panic
Maybe it isn't appropriate to ask this question, and I'm sorry if that is the case. I wish the decision was easier.
To all my January girls, and everyone else on this board - I'm so sorry to meet you here, but I hope I can be a part of this wonderfully supportive community.
