Miscarriage

I had a miscarriage only about 5 months ago. Waited natural but nothing happened, so had the surgical option and was asleep. It was fine. Small amount of pain and bleeding afterwards, but nothing compared to the miscarriage pain itself. If I had another miscarriage I would deffo go for the surgical option straight away this time.

Sorry for your loss, it's such a hard time 💜

I had a miscarriage and went for surgical route and awake under local - I have quite a high pain tolerance and I wouldn’t take that route again personally. I’m sure everyone is different though x

Thank you, sorry for your loss also.
Have you had a natural miscarriage as well as the surgical one? Was the pain after surgery similar to period cramps? Xx

I had a miscarriage in 2018 at 5 weeks and my body couldn’t pass it so I was told to go into hospital I was there for a total of 6 hours I had been given tablets to insert vaginally I ended up having 9 tablets it was the last 3 that flushed everything out x

so sorry you had to go through that! It sounds horrible!

Surgical option so sounding more appealing right now. It's so horrible to have to go through this anyway let alone the pain that comes with it! Xx

Hi lovely, I miscarried in August and wasn’t given any option other than to just let it pass naturally and it was awful. The most painful thing I have experienced and ended up in hospital as an emergency as there was a clot stuck in my cervics which sent me into labour so had to have surgery. If I was to go through it again, I would 100% go for surgery straight away.. it was painless in comparison and instant pain relief. So sorry you’re going through this, and if you need a chat I’m always here 💖

was it just the pain from when they was doing it? Do you think if you was asleep it would have been a better experience? I have a very low pain threshold, I'm a massive wimp! So all these options are just terrible! Xx

I'm sorry for your loss Sharon 🥺🌸🌸🌸

I've had a partial natural/partial medicine miscarriage

And I've had a natural mc

If you have the option of surgical (d&c) I would go for that.

It is done quickly with less bleeding afterwards, less painful as you are asleep and less recovery time.

Both mcs were over 2wks bleeding for me.

Edit - I've also had a d&c previously for another reason with no pain relief

Thank you all, I wish I had thought to ask on here before taking the pills just hope I can now get in to have the surgery option before it starts! Xx

I’m so sorry for your loss. I had a missed miscarriage last year and let nature take its course. I’d personally never go through this again. If I had to choose again, I’d go for surgical options.
Sending lots of love and hugs xx

So sorry to hear to hear you are going through this. I had the previously, the tablets were an awful experience for me I had a lot of pain, bleeding and upset to be told 3 weeks later that nothing had come away. I was offfered this again or to wait naturally but I’d done my grieving and wanted to be “normal” again. I opted for surgical remove under general anaesthetic the next day. And I can say it was the best decision within a week I was fully recovered and felt like me again. The process was too much to deal with that although surgery comes with a risk it was worth it for my mental health. If I am ever in that position again I will opt for surgery.
Wishing you all the best and I really hope you have a speedy recovery xx

I would also say I’m so grateful for never seeing my foetus, I’m not sure that would’ve been a sight I’d be able to forget or move on from. Xx

100% if you are able to be put to sleep and surgical.

Its never a nice experience but I would always choose to be put to sleep, feel/ see nothing. Wake up and be able to get on with it. Rather than been in pain, ot feeling whats happening.

I have had a natural miscarriage, followed by surgical management under general due to it being incomplete, and then 6 months later I opted for the surgical option straight away when it happened again. I would 1000% go for surgical straight away again, the utter heartbreak and pain of it naturally was horrible. Surgical felt like it was managed quickly (in and out in a morning) and gave me the energy to deal with the situation better emotionally. I’m so sorry you’re going through this xx

I’m so sorry for your loss. We had a missed miscarriage in August and for my own mental health I needed the situation dealt with as quickly as possible, which meant surgery was the best option. Thankfully I have private healthcare through work and managed to have surgery within 24 hours of having the unfortunate scan. If you do happen to have private healthcare, I highly recommend using it as the service was fantastic and so quick to deal with such a traumatic situation xx

Currently going through a miscarriage I was told on Tuesday I couldn’t get a consultation for the pills until next week sometime.. so I opted for the natural miscarriage but it’s taking so long to happen.. I’ve had no bleeding or pain so it’s like my body is holding on to this baby!! My other miscarriages were easy compared to this one in the sense my body done everything it needed to naturally and quickly.. sending you my love xx

we was told on Tuesday as well. Got given the pills the same day but this has been going on for 3 weeks now. We had an early scan they couldn't find anything, went for an internal they found it and thought we was just earlier than planned, then had brown spoting went for another internal said it was failing then has a bleed though was loosing it then had the scat this Tuesday to confirm. Took the pills and still nothing but after all the advice and comments I don't want it to happen think I now want the surgery to be done. Sorry for your loss also. Xx

I think being asleep would have been a better experience, i could have gas & air but if I were to be in that position in future I’d be put to sleep.

it was horrible to be honest and the pain and cramping was just something else even days after my belly was absolutely killing me 😩xx

Sorry for your loss😭x

Thank you all. I think I'm going to call them tomorrow and ask to be put to sleep and have the surgery. I just hope now that nothing happens between now and when they can get me in. Thank you all again and sorry you have all had to go through this. Hope you all went on to have health pregnancies after as well. Xxxx

Sorry for your loss lovely.
D&c was the best choice for me. It’s a 15 min surgery fully asleep. I was treated like a queen in the hospital regardless of the circumstances. A few hours coming around and no excessive bleeding after. I had two days of very light spotting. Also mild internal cramps for two days while uterus healed but was told to take codamol if needed. They recommend to rest for these two days. I’ve also had a friend who had a Mc with drugs and didn’t fully go and she was in limbo and she says she wished she chose the d&c to start with as it ended up being a never ending Mc.

The things you should know.. it can take up to 8 weeks for your body to regulate a period after a d&c (hospitals will tell you 4-6 weeks), You will still have to do a pregnancy test 3 weeks after the surgery to make sure everything was taken at surgery. So yes until this test is done you are still living in the Mc nightmare.

If you have any questions please feel free to dm me x
