i was told by my doctor that before 10 weeks, they usually don't do a d & c.

my docotor told me as long as the hcg levels fell to zero i wouldn't need a d&c and i was only about 4-5 weeks

I had my naturally and it was not so bad.I could not go through a D/C.My heart hurt to much.After everything had passed I felt a little better.

After the experience that I had after I had miscarriage, I would tell everyone to get a d&c. I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks. I had a sonogram to see if everything passed. THey sent me home. THat night, I passed the fetus in toilet. My husband, unfortunately flushed it. I did call my dr. and told him. He told me just to call him if I started bleeding a lot. My bleeding had tapered quite a bit after a few days. Almost 2 weeks later, I had serious sharp pains in my abdomen, I was in so much pain, my husband took me to the ER. As I was undressing in the ER, I started bleeding very heavily. I really scared the nurse, she moved me to a station closer to her. I was hemmoraging so bad. Blood was just pouring out. The dr. came, did an emergency d&c, with out any pain killer of any sort. During the D&C, I started feeling really faint and far away. THey put 2 IV drips in me to pump fluid in me faster. The next day I read in the chart that my bp was 60/0, basically I almost died. IT was the scariest experience of my life.

Im sorry for your Lost.
I lost my Angel on 8/15/07 and had my emergency D&C on 9/26/07 .
See you Doc ,ask for your hcg Level and a ultrasound if its still to High please have a D&C dont go trough it Natural .

as long as your HCG levels are falling and you are not running a fever you should be okay. The fever indicates infection (other signs are a foul smelling discharge, severe pain after the initial cramping is over) If the bleeding lasts more than 10 days, call your doctor.

First of all, I'm so sorry for your loss. I had a "natural miscarriage" when I was around 5-6 weeks. My doctor told me that as long as I didn't bleed longer than 2 weeks and my hcg levels returned to negative, there was no sense in having a d & c. But, I would check with your doctor to make sure.

I've had 3 miscarriages, and the first two I went d&c, the last I let go naturally, and it was awful. I had to "catch" the fetus in a specimen cup, and take it to the lab for genetic testing to try to find out why I was miscarrying so many times. I bled for a much much longer time, and I almost had to go in for a d&c anyway because they were afraid I hadn't passed all the tissue. After all of that, they couldn't get any genetic information because by the time I got the tissue to the lab, too much time had passed and they weren't able to test. All in all, I would go d&c if I had the choice, but it is a very personal experience. I am sorry you are going through this.

I had my m\c at 10 weeks and I had a d&c..They sent me home from the e.r. and my dr. said if I didnt start passing something over night then I would need a d&c..I went on to have a d&c without complications, though it was a very scary experience..Hope this helps

I miscarried at exactly 7 weeks. I miscarried "naturally" and when they did a sono their was nothing in my uterus. No evidence of a gestatinal sac and my HCG was 210. After everything passed the bleeding was very light. I officially stopped bleeding on Wednesday and physically have been fine. I was told I wont need a D & C
