I'm 8 weeks pg, but scans show no embryo. Looks like no development beyond 5 weeks (my dates aren't out - I am an obsessive tracker since ttc from Feb 2013). I haven't mc'd naturally yet, so next week will prob have option of medical or surgical management.
For those of you with experience of this, what would you do?
I'm leaning towards surgical management (ERPC) because it will be over and done with more quickly, and hopefully less bleeding afterwards than medical management.
We were supposed to be going camping week after next, and think I'm more likely to be bleeding too much for that if I go for medical management than surgical. Also I want to get back to ttc as soon as possible so don't want to wait ages for natural mc to kick in.
BUT - additional risks with ERPC such as perforating the uterus, scarring higher risk of infection, that could further reduce fertility in the future.
I had a natural mc 6 months ago at 6 weeks, which was relatively (physically) painless, just like a very heavy period. But of course being a bit further on and having to have surgical/medical management means it could be very different this time.
