Q: to Medicate Or Wait ?

my d&c was a week ago and I had to go back to the dr. after passing some rather large tissue this weekend. So another round of blood work and an ultrasound... my hormones are still high but droping and there is fluid in my uterus.

I have a choice to take methergen (which i took right after the d&c) again to expell the fluid or I can wait for nature to take over which will take longer. Part of me wants this over and done with and to take the pills that make me itch, but I don;t know how long it will take if I wait for nature to take over... help?

well, it's really a choice you have to make.

personally, i'd go with the pills for the same reason i went with my d&c. my baby had died 5 weeks prior and i'd had no idea, how much longer would it be before mother nature took over? i couldn't stand not knowing and just waiting for things to happen, so i had the d&c.

i know you want this over with so maybe you should go with the pills.

i'm sorry you're having complications.
