Missed miscarriage update

well ... 1 month ago  I choose  to have a  medical termination for my  missed miscarriage , I  am very  pleased  with the results ...   I feel  great ..   I had a couple of  bad  days  .. the 31 of december I did  an ultrasound and  it  seems I did had  some  retained  product ,  the  doctors insisted me  to have a D&C but  I choose  to wait , I  had my period  the  31 of  december  and for my next  ultrasound  everything  cleared  up, I was  very  upset  as I didnt  really  wanted  to do another  D&C  as  I only had  just a fragment of my placenta, and  to be honest  the D&C is a blind procedure , in which  they can not see  where  exactly is the fragment in your  utero. I would  never  recommend  another  d&c .

I ask  the doctors if  it was possible to have a hysteroscopy for the management of retained product of  conception   instead  of a  d&c , but they  refuse , they said that it was not  possible as you have to push  liquid with pression  for being able to introduce the camera , they said  the pression could make the fragments to move to the  fallopian tubes ...

But I read in many of the Gynecological journals  online that  hysteroscopy is actually the best  method to  treat  retained product as  is less invasive and  let the doctor has a clear view of  what's going on in the uterus..

In my advise , always  read  , read and read  , as  is very important  to have  knowledge of what  the doctors are doing to you  and why they are  doing it,  don't  let yourself be fool by the doctors , some of them they just don't have enough time  to read  the latest treatments or they are very conservative in the way they practice . This  doctor in the hospital didn't  wanted me to use the misoprostol  instead  of the d&c ,  he  predict  it  would be retained product  in my uterus .. but  he  didnt expect that  my  body was going to settle  down  and eliminate this product  by itself ......
at the  end  I think doctors were  rushing me to have a  d&c ,in fact ,   they offer me this procedure 4 times after  the misoprostol,  I was  just  imagining  how many  women are  rushed by their doctors to  do this type of  procedures.  I guess there is more money .


I did call to colombia  to one of the best Doctors available , he is an specialist  in high risk pregnancies , he was  very kind with me  ,  he totally understood my case ,   he  answer my email and then he was  very  nice  on the phone with me , he  didn't  charge me any money , for his time , and  he was actually very please to hear that I was calling him from so far away ... and he was  very very  very  kind and cooperative ,  he also agree with the procedure I was  interested  in , he actually  told me that in cases of  retained  product  hysteroscopy is the  optimal procedure with the best  results , he also told me  that  is a  ambulatory procedure  in which they  put local anesthesia .


You  just can't imagine my  face when in my last scan  my uterus  look  beautiful  & clean  ..... I was over the moon ....  I follow my  heart  this  time , I just did  what it  felt  right  :-)     and I am so happy  with the results .. :-)
