Update:
I went to doc today. My HcG is not going down as fast as he expected. He took more blood ( gee, I didn't see that coming may have to give more later as well ) and hopes to get the results by tomorrow and is looking for HcG to be 1000 or less.

Since I am such a difficult patient (I am, I really am.... I do not like to be poked, prodded or stuck with the speculum... I tell it like it is. I really dislike the speculum and all the torturous items), we waited for one of his collegues (2 hours) so we could look at the transvag sono together. (Ahhhh, the joy )

Turns out that I have a lot of stuff that still has to come out. I am still passing clots, but not bleeding as much, which means that it may take longer to miscarry completely. I don't know whether to cry softly or cry loudly. Doc is considering a D&C. I am scared to death of a D&C and am willing to wait for nature to take its course. Doc is not worried about infection, or anything else other than the fact that my uterus is not contracting and cramping strong enough to expel the clots. (I am thinking that the baby is still among the clots, because doc asked if I had passed anything "hard").

So we are back to the waiting game. In the midst of my sarcasm (my defense mechanism) which is keeping me sane, I am really at a crossroads because the D&C is on the table (no pun intended) and I sort of like worry about my job. DH says that I won't get fired, but I wonder if life is trying to steer me back in the path of Stay-at-Home mom. That is another post.

Any advice is really welcome.....if you have BTDT, please share your experience. I feel like but the tears won't come out.

Thanks everyone

P.S. I posted this as the last message on my other thread, but then noticed the thread didn't go to the top, so I did it this way. Still learning the board.

Did they say if your cervix is still open?

I am sorry I can't remember how far along you are? If you decide on a D&C I can tell you it is nothing to be scared of. My natural m/c was much more scary than the D&C. The D&C was kind of a relief after five days of trying to do it on my own and a huge amount of blood loss. My doctor was seriously concerned that if I got an infection I would be risking my reproductive health. That was all it took for me to give in and go to the hospital. And I am very strong willed!

After the D&C I woke up happy and ready to go home. Most people wake up crying...but I was just so glad there was finally an end to the unknown.


If I could do it all over again... I would do it no different.

Hugs to you... actually lots and lots of hugs....
