[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry for your loss. I had one in the GW DC office a couple years ago and they gave me the anti-anxiety medication and some strong pain medication. I was measuring 8/9 weeks. I didn't find it physically painful, maybe a little uncomfortable. My husband was there and he held my hand, that definitely helped. Again, so sorry you are having to make this decision at all. [/quote]

I, too, am sorry for your loss. I had the in-office procedure at GW just last month. While on the phone to schedule, they told me they would be sending 4 prescriptions to the pharmacy for me to pick up and bring with me: an antibiotic, an anti-anxiety (Ativan), and two pain medications (Percocet and Rx strength ibuprofen). I took all 4 of them shortly after the resident had me sign the consent form for treatment. They make you wait for an hour after taking the drugs before doing the procedure - which was something they didn't tell me. I felt the speculum being inserted at the beginning and some gauze against my cervix at the end. The rest of it was fast and, for me, painless. I would choose that procedure again before doing it under anesthesia. It was really nice to leave about an hour after the procedure was completed.[/quote]
