Has anyone had to get a D&C after the miscarriage medicine didn’t get everything out?
It’s been a little over 9 days since taking the medicine to jump start the miscarriage and I ended up in the ER tonight after the pain got worse. Since we don’t think Medicaid would cover an overnight stay, I was discharged with some stronger pain meds prescription and I am hopefully going to be able to get squeezed in on Monday for a D&C.
I am pretty scared of the risks of having one which is why we started with the medication but I’m more afraid of developing an infection and getting really sick/dying. It is my 2nd pregnancy 1st miscarriage and could really use some support while going through this. Thank you.

I had two rounds of medical management after my miscarriage, and was still left with retained tissue. Had to take antibiotics for infection risk and I did have a D&C, which was successful. It was my second pregnancy and first miscarriage too. All was fine, the risks of not having it outweighed the risks of having it, and I went on to have a healthy pregnancy after.
