How do you move on? D&C or Natural miscarriage
Hey Glow community. I've never felt so low in my life. I ended up in the ER today with a kidney stone, and as part of my treatment, they did a vaginal ultrasound tho and saw no movement. I was 6w, 3D with HCG level of 8,000 and they said should've seen something given where my HCG levels were. OB said he's 95% sure it's not a viable pregnancy. Said it was "an empty sac with maybe just all little collection of cells." Also hasn't ruled out an ectopic. I have repeat bloodwork on Monday and another ultrasound on Tuesday, but I know in my heart there's no hope. I'm heartbroken and I don't know how to feel. My acupuncturist wants me to wait and try to miscarry naturally. That a D&C is harder on the body because they clean out too much of the base uterine lining and there's a possibility for scar tissue. I don't know if I'm strong enough to wait. The thought of carrying this empty pregnancy around is tearing me apart. Thoughts would be appreciated.
