Squemers, Im so sorry you are going through this, and for the 5th time! I cant imagine the frustration you must feel.
Firstly,I would definately ask to be scanned again in 7-10 days just to be sure. I have had 2 missed miscarriages in the past 6 months (the first at 11w the second at 8w) and opted for medical management both times as a) D&C's arent really encouraged here (I live in the Netherlands) unless there are complications and b) I just couldnt handle the wait-it-out option either.
Both times the pills worked immediately and I had no major issues.
But as Summer15 said, it is definately worse than a bad period! More like, a bad, BAD period! I only knew what to expect after reading some of the experiences from ladies on here and knew not to freak out when all the clots and sac came out. But you will get through it.
Wishing you all the best and I really hope your nenxt BFP is your sticky one
xx
**Have you had tests done to determine what might be the cause of the recurrent miscarriages?
