I am new to this group, and I am sure this topic has been discussed before, but I need some advice from other ladies who have been these shoes. 

I went for my 9w scan last Wednesday and we discovered that I have a Blighted Ovum. My normal doctor was not available, so I spoke with another physician in the office who laid out all of the information and how to proceed. Needless to say, we were, and still are, devastated. Doctor #1 said that their clinic's general outlook is to wait and see if the body naturally passes the tissue, but that if it takes too long, or if I feel it is right, I can opt for a D& C. At the time, I was in shock, so I agreed to wait it out for the time being. 

I have an appointment this Wednesday for a follow up to see how I am doing. 

After some hard thinking, I am really leaning towards the D& C. I don't think I can handle waiting to have a miscarriage. This last week has felt like an eternity already, and I have read that sometimes it takesweeks to miscarry after finding out about a BO. I have had zero spotting or cramping, so I don't even think I am close to having a miscarriage naturally. On top of that, I feel like I am relatively far into the first trimester, and I am scared that waiting it out and passing everything naturally could be potentially dangerous. The doctor's own words were literally"there is a potential you could hemorrhage and bleed to death". Yikes. 

Has anyone had a similar experience and advocated for a D& C for themselves? They said they could potentially do it in the clinic with local anesthesia if my cervix is partially open, but I honestly just don't want to remember any of it. I would rather pay more at the hospital and not remember the procedure. I know that it will take time for me to mentally heal, but physically walking around knowing that there is no living baby inside of me is just killing me. 

Thank you for your help.
