I have had 2 “natural” miscarriages, and wow, do I ever hate that term…be sure to rest and take care of yourself…what I did during mine, was hide inside and play cards on the computer. Ah..whatever works eh?

I too am still very sorry. I will tell you that I never expected my experience to be as physically painful as it was. I had to wait 3 days between the time I started spotting and my D&C. I couldn’t imagine having to wait any longer. I wouldn’t blame you if you changed your mind. My thoughts are with you.

Thinking of you and hoping that the spotting is a sign that things will happen quickly.

It’s so tough to make a choice like that when all the options just underscore the awfulness of it all, but I think you’re doing a wise thing, Amanda. May it go quickly, without pain, and in peace. And may you heal soon.

Shit. I’m so sorry. Just know it gets better with time, I swear.

My thoughts, prayers and sanity are with you tonight.

I’m still so sorry, sweetie. I’m glad your body made this decision easier on you, but it’s still got to be a very rough time for you.

Thinking of you, and sending thoughts and prayers for healing.

Ugh- I’m sorry that you have a bad night ahead of you. I hope its as pain free as possible. I had a D&C because I was 10 weeks along before we gave up on it (my sacs & betas were growing/doubling nicely- there was just nothing in them).

Anyway you do it, it sucks. I’m sorry.

I’m sorry it was even a decision you have to make. I personally opt for the D&C, but even that didn’t get it all over for me quickly. I hope this is at least physically easy on you.

I’m glad your body isn’t making you wait. I chose to use the misoprostol to avoid potential scarring from a d&c. It ’s a tough decision with no easy answer. Take care and surround yourself with understanding, loving friends and chocolate.

I’m glad a tough decision was made a little easier. I’ve had several D&C’s, and they are not bad, but it definitely helps to have a doctor you know and trust. Thinking of you and wishing I could do more.

I’m glad it’s happening quickly. If you can bear it you might go and read Julie’s archives about her early 2004 miscarriage – she ended up an advocate of getting it over with. Seems as if you don’t have that issue, but is worth bearing in mind.

I’m so sorry this is happening to you.

I know the coming days and weeks will be very hard…I’ve been thinking of you a lot. This shit is raw and painful and I so wish you weren’t going through it.

I’m also glad that they didn’t make you wait another agonizing week waiting for an u/s. I’m still sorry this had to happen at all.

I am so sorry Amanda.
You are constantly in my thoughts.

I’m glad they aren’t making you go through another week and u/s. I wish I had something better to say, but I’m so sorry. Stock up on cookies and movies and know that you have a lot of people thinking about you.
