After having my scan yesterday and discovering that nothing has moved over the last 2 weeks, in fact the sac has remained exactly where it was, I have decided to have the ERPC and this is booked for tomorrow.
I made the decision because I can't stand to be in limbo waiting for this to happen naturally; I decided against medically managed because I've read various comments that it's meant to be more painful (and the midwife agreed) and I think that the experience of passing so much blood and tissue and being in pain will put me off wanting to try again for some time, whereas at the moment, I think I want to try again as soon as possible.
Having said that, I am now terrified of having the ERPC, not so much the general anesthetic as I've had ops before (although I will no doubt be nervous tomorrow) but that something will go wrong and I will become infertile. I know the chances are incredibly slim but I still can't help worrying and I'm feeling really scared. I know it is a straight forward op and the chances of anything going wrong are remote, but after having a MC, it's really hard to try and think positively.
