Waiting to miscarry

[JF23]

So I went in for my u/s on Mon and they said the baby is there but they couldnt find a heartbeat. They sent me home and said they are going to give it until Fri and if I have not miscarried on my own by then I will have to decide between a pill or a DNC. Has anyone ever gone through this? I lost the last one I was pregnant with at 36 weeks (a stillborn) but I never have been in this position before.Although this is very hard to deal with  I am just thankful that God has blessed me with two healthy kids, a girl and a boy. Any advice would be great thanks.

How far along are you now?
I'm scheduled for my first d&c on Friday.

When my doctor couldn't find the heart beat they did blood work to see what my hCG level was doing.  It is going down and I am still spotting so we're going ahead with the d&c.  I was 12 weeks along when I found out.

I'm so sorry you're going through this

i have, in january i started spotting so i went to the ER where they did an ultrasound that showed the baby had stopped growing at 6wk2days and there was no heartbeat , i should have been 7wks5days they said to wait a week and to come back for another ultrasound to make sure i was having a miscarriage , went back baby was still messuring the same and at that point i was givin the same choice ( because after 2 weeks things still were not happening)TMI ALERT!! i chose to have the pills i cannot remember the name of them but i was to insert 2 tiny tablets vaginaly every six hours for 4 doses,
i can tell you it was VERY painful the first 6 hours until things started to pass but then the pain gose away , ive also had a d&c with my first m/c it was the quick and easy rout i guess but its still a surgery and every sugery has its complications...

its a hard choice to make , take some time, get a second ultrasound
im really sorry for your loss, i hope ive helped in some way

Depending on how far along you are, I would wait it out.  Mistakes are possible.  Sorry for your losses, I know it is so hard.

I don't know how far you are, and I have never been in your situation...but I've seen lots of posts from women who have, and a lot of them say to get more than one u/s. If only one showed no heartbeat maybe they are wrong and it is there? If it's for sure I'm sorry about your loss(es)

hi there , i don't really have any advice i've never been in your situation , but i just wanted to say how sorry i am :(  i'm sorry for both your losses , butits good to see that you still have the positive attitude of being blessed with your children that you have . i had a mc in dec and it was awful i was only 7 weeks but i cant imagine being far in to my pregnancy and losing him/her. i just recently got my bfp again its been 3 months and now i'm so scared , i feel if this doesnt work out i will need a long break to. i really wish you the best  and hope it works out ok for you in the long run , good luck and god bless :)
