Crystal :
My experience with my d&c, I went for a viability scan, baby had no heartbeat and was a week less than I should have been, was told to come back in a week for another scan, ultrasound tech said “why are you back here? I said 2 weeks” (no you didn’t but whatever. Only bad thing was her), still no heartbeat and still measuring the 6 weeks. Talked to the doctor about it and was given the options for my body to naturally pass it, the pills or a d&c, I chose the d&c, but because I was still so “early” they wanted to wait until my hcg lowered a bit at least to know the pregnancy was no longer viable, once hcg went down, I got in the next day had the d&c, all the doctors were so compassionate and lovely, woke up from surgery and surgeon said he’s sure he got all the tissue, was getting blood work done every 2 days until my hcg was lower than 5 and we could confidently say there was absolutely no tissue left. Your whole “care” team has made a difficult time even worse 💔 definitely see if you can even just get them for emotional distress/neglect because that’s absolutely ridiculous! Leaving tissue inside you that could have started decaying at any point is extremely dangerous, too! I am so so SO sorry you’ve had to endure all the extra trauma from this 😞
