Miscarriage

I went for my 8 week sonogram last week and the doctor saw an empty sac. I had blood drawn twice to see if my hormones were decreasing, and they were. The doctor told me it will be a miscarriage and wants me to have it naturally, but I've been told to have the procedure instead.  What do you recommend? I'm ok with doing it naturally. Plus, I just moved so I don't have a new doctor yet.

Im so sorry for your loss  I lost my baby boy last year at 17weeks  it was difficult but  I to was given two options  to have the procedure or have at home on my owne  I chose the procedure due to them freaking me out of all the horrible things that wher highly unlikely  but could happen  like me bleeding out  so I feel I was scared into my decision but if  it was to happen again I would have had my body do it naturally  the procedure is more risky than for your body to do it naturally  I looked up all the risks both ways and more complications can come from the procedure then  letn your body do it itself but this is my opinion after my owne investigation  I wish you the best with whatever you choos  and again im very sorry for ur  loss♡

Firstly Sorry for ur loss... I had a similar thing happen a year ago, but I found out at my 12 week scan that the baby had stoped growing at 7 weeks but I hadn't miscared naturally- so I went for the op, it was over in a few hours & just a few cramps later that day...people who have had a natural miscarriage often say its painful & obviously a lot of blood etc but I suppose it depends on how far along u were...it may just be like a heavy period...if ur ok with waiting for it to happen then mabie go with that good luck
