I called the early pregnancy loss clinic today, and was greeted with this low pitched, kind voice, who sighed a lot in sympathy. These nurses are clearly well trained. Towards the end, I mentioned I was a physician, and wondered if I lost some of her sympathy right there. But no, she was really nice throughout.
Anyway, I was given 3 choices: letting nature take its course, medicine to help speed up the miscarriage, and a surgical D&C. Throughout the day, I spoke to friends, husband, mom, and have changed my mind a couple of times, and may continue to change it again. Ideally, it happens naturally on it's own in the next few days and the decision will be made for me. I've been reading on lay and professional sites about the pros and cons, and there is surprisingly little helpful information out there, just a lot of scary statistics on the risks of a D&C.
Why is it that I spend my evening from 8-10pm watching crap TV, and 10-11pm reading about medical options for a miscarriage!
