I have been in a similar position. I've had two D&Cs (including one following unsuccessful administration of misoprostol) and a "natural" miscarriage, and I would strongly recommend the D&C with general anesthesia if you have scheduling concerns. I recovered incredibly quickly from both my D&Cs (physically speaking, that is) and was back at work the same day with the second. I would not recommend option #3 -- I haven't done it, but am guided by Misfit's experience and my own sense that the general anesthesia option is not that bad. Re misoprostol, I had an incredibly frustrating experience: the pills simply didn't work, and I ended up needing a D&C anyway. You should also know that the statistics about completing a miscarriage via misoprostol are based on a ~35-day period -- i.e., success is measured if the miscarriage occurs at any time during a five-week period following administration of the pills. That uncertainty/unpredictability really diminishes this option in my mind. I should add, however, that if you're in a state where you can use mifepristone along with misoprostol (impossible in many states (including my own) via a doctor's office), the combination may mitigate the unpredictability of the timing. Regardless, best of luck and please know that we all support you.

Both my miscarriages were already in progress, heavy bleeding when went to ER and Doc. The first I spent most of the night in the ER and then they release me (I didn't have a clue what was going to happen when I got home), told me to take pain meds if it got bad, which it did and I miscarried at home. The second, I had an appt. to see my doc. already and the miscarriage was already happening so she just gave me the pills and I went home (again). Mine were very quick within 24 hours. I never wanted or had a D&C so can't comment on that. Do what makes the most sense for you and your well-being is my advice and try not to let your job/work dictate how this plays out - you don't want to have any regrets. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.Jennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2385077339545542402.post-48910630213481694802013-07-10T18:10:18.512-07:002013-07-10T18:10:18.512-07:00I am so sorry this is happening. I'm so sorry ...I am so sorry this is happening. I'm so sorry that you now have to make this difficult choice. <br />I've only had 1 m/c and chose a D&C. Misfit helped me a great deal to sort out what would be the best option at that time, so my best recommendation is to take her advice and listen to your own gut feeling. <br />Augustahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01257478728772841767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2385077339545542402.post-88417267184508301022013-07-10T17:55:36.481-07:002013-07-10T17:55:36.481-07:00Don't do #3. the D&C w/o being under was o...Don't do #3. the D&C w/o being under was one of the worst things I've had. Email me if you want more detail.<br /><br />I'd schedule the D&C when it makes sense for work. I can't tell if the releif of having it already done would be better than the physical recovery in a not ideal was.<br /><br />Shitballs on all options. :( Sorry.
