[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally I’d go with option 2. Pills seem easier/less invasive, and I think the uncertainty of waiting would be very unpleasant for me. [/quote]

OP, I'm sorry for your loss. I had a loss as a fertility patient, and my fertility doctor quickly told me there were three modes of management, then chose option #1 for me. I am glad your doctor gave you the choice and discussed pros and cons. I can tell you that the waiting period was one of the darkest periods of my life (undoubtedly made worse because my choice was taken away). It broke me in a way that I didn't know I could break. For some, waiting is the right way. For me, I wanted the pills, though you do have to acknowledge that waiting or taking the pills may not result in complete passage of the products of conception. With a later loss, I had the option of an in-office "d&c", the actual name of which is manual vacuum aspiration. I was awake but got to take ativan and several pain drugs. It was over quickly.[/quote]

I'm a D&C PP and this thread was eye-opening. I was knocked out completely and that was a blessing in light of how hard it all was already. Seems like for both this and other options, make.aure you ask your OB the specifics - where, how, what painkillers, etc.[/quote]
