we lost it. which options should I take?
We went for our ultrasound today. I am supposed to be measuring at 9w3d but the baby hasn't grown since the last u/s at 6 weeks and there is definitely no heartbeat. My heart is torn. The doctor gave us three options to think about: to wait for it to expel naturally, come in for the surgery or take the medication to force it out. We have an appt for next Thursday so we have couple of days to decide. I don't know if I can wait to it to happen naturally but I am not too keen on the other two ideas either. For those ladies who had to face with the same decisions what did you ultimately decide? And is one choice better than the other? Thanks!
Update: first I want to thank you everyone for their support. It has been extremely helpful hearing everyone's stories. This morning, based on what I've read and felt, I chose a d&c. Mostly so I can feel like I can finally move on with my life. It was not horrible but it was done in office while awake. My doctor only provides local anesthesia. There was 5 minutes of pain that I would not wish on my worst enemy but afterwards I got up, went home and felt fine physically. Minimal bleeding and cramping. I was glad that I took this route as now I feel that I can move on and try for my rainbow 🌈 baby. The doctor said I have an abnormal sac to begin with so there was little chance of having a healthy pregnancy. I don't know if that made me feel better that it never had a chance but nevertheless I am ready now to take some time for myself and my husband and try again in a few months. Again I am so grateful for the support. I wish everyone their rainbow 🌈 baby as well.
