    it depends on the size of the tissue that's left

    I had a small amount left (under 1" I think) and they decided not to do anything further. Often it will be reabsorbed or pass out either on its own or with the next AF

    any more than that and they might offer you medical management or an ERPC

    Thanks again, ladies.

    queen-of-harts - there's no danger of me curling up on the couch with 3 boys under 6! I resumed my normal activity within hours of the miscarriage and regularly walk my kids to and from school, buy groceries, play with them, etc.

    My doctor called back later this afternoon to say that after talking with an OBGYN consult it looks like the amount of tissue is quite minor I can probably just wait it out and it should pass on its own. Phew! The only snag in all of this is they want me to wait for a period and have another scan then to make sure everything's gone...I guess that means I can't TTC at my first post-m/c ovulation I was really hoping for a BFP by Christmas, but that's looking less and less likely now.

    My midwife never suggested any follow-up appointments, and if I hadn't had them I would never have known about the remaining tissue and would have gone ahead and TTC right away. Would it be dangerous to track O and still do that, knowing what I know?

    A related question - I assume O won't come until all the tissue has passed and my HCG is back down to 0, right? So if I O does that mean my m/c is complete and it's safe to TTC?

    Just saw your response, rainbow - I think I fit into the former category since they seem to think it will pass naturally or reabsorb. Forgive me if I've already asked you this and just forget your response, but when did you get your first af after your m/c?

    you can still O before the reamining tissue passes... sometimes tissue that remains is the type that produces HCG, so that might cause the HCG to either drop slowly or to stay high.
    if it's not that sort of tissue the HCG can drop and once it's down your normal hormones can resume and you can ovulate again

    sorry that they've asked you to wait a month

    even though I had some retained tissue we decided to TTC anyway. I did a fair bit of googling as to what would happen if I got a BFP before an AF despite retained tissue and I found that often it's just reabsorbed or will pass as lots of spotting, often it could be pushed out as the new pregnancy grows, but of course there's a small infection risk if it doesn't pass naturally/reabsorb. I wish in hindsight that we HAD waited for the first AF, the hormones disrupted my cycle too much so it was very stressful TTC that cycle, more than normal.

    for me, I think the retained tissue broke down gradually (hence the constant spotting all cycle) but mostly it must have been reabsorbed as my next two AFs were very very light. I certainly didn't have any clots during my next AF.

    Thanks for your story, rainbow - I'll take that into consideration as I decide how to proceed.

    I'm sorry, Mocha! Maybe January will be your month, just like it was for your Mom... All this waiting just sucks but I know it'll be worth it!
