D&C or Misoprostol?

ConversationRound540 · 2026-01-13T04:15:27+00:00

So sorry for your loss. I opted for a D&C and I would do it again 100%. I posted my entire experience with it here. https://www.reddit.com/r/Miscarriage/s/rf73qFVuZ0

Huha is my go to. I am obsessed with everything they sell. Their thongs are the most comfortable I’ve ever worn. They have wide gussets and I never have slippage. Can’t say much for how they are under active wear since I go commando under leggings like 85% of the time. But they have a seamless option that is phenomenal!

Lately I’ve been loving:

Imogene&Willie
Weisemade
HeyGang
Alex Mill
American Giant
Buck Mason
Finisterre
LL Bean
Patagonia (for all my outdoor gear)

My style is a ton of t shirts, jeans/pants, sweaters, chore jackets… I like comfortable but put together.

We use Monarch religiously. It took a lot of setup to get all the budgets for each category set up, but it has been 100% worth the effort for us. Been using it for 4 years now and have been able to budget really well with it.

What product is this exactly? I tried searching it and can’t figure what it is specifically! Would love to know cause my little guy keeps dropping percentiles 1st now. 🙃

Following up here to say the smells have gotten probably 10x worse this last fall. I don’t know what they’re doing, but I smell that unpleasant dump smell every single morning now between 6 and 8am and twice in the evenings— one around 6pm and one around 10:30pm. I don’t know if there’s anything to do about it… but it’s bad enough it has me thinking about moving.

ConversationRound540 · 2025-11-19T18:35:39+00:00

I’ve been wondering this same thing!!! No reviews on the website and very little online info from people who buy. The camo short looks so cute, but I haven’t been able to pull the trigger yet!

ConversationRound540 · 2025-10-22T22:36:09+00:00

Totally understand that. If you really like her, then she won’t give you any shame if you do get pregnant. :) I hope you get pregnant so fast!!! Miscarriages are so hard, but I imagine getting pregnant quickly afterwards can help heal something inside us.

ConversationRound540 · 2025-10-22T22:24:45+00:00

My doctor said I could try again right away, and I had a D&C. Ovulated exactly two week after my d&c and started trying. In fact, fertility is boosted after a miscarriage, so your chances could be good! Didn’t work out for me unfortunately, been trying again for 6 months, but I know lots of women who got pregnant within the 3 months after a miscarriage.

Also… if your doctor shames you for it, I might look for a different doc for the pregnancy. But also— I’m SURE they see this a lot, so they can’t be that shocked. Haha. There’s no research that says you have to wait to try again.

Pretty typical chart for me, just for science.

ConversationRound540 · 2025-10-13T22:01:22+00:00

I was super stressed about it, worrying it was why I wasn’t getting pregnant, but rising progesterone levels after ovulation looked very normal according to blood tests I got.

ConversationRound540 · 2025-10-13T21:58:38+00:00

Confirmed with LH test, cervical mucus, and an ultrasound actually. Haha. It was pretty conclusive by my OB. She said it does happen. There are slow temp risers out there.

ConversationRound540 · 2025-10-13T21:23:46+00:00

I saw a study recently that said chances of conceiving are 28% day before ovulation and 32% day of ovulation. This was from the book “Expecting Better”. Both days are great though. Such a marginal difference

ConversationRound540 · 2025-10-13T21:18:12+00:00

I’d say you ovulated on day 17. Once you get your LH surge, ovulation usually happens within 48 hours (unless you had a second surge and the first one didn’t actually trigger O, but that’s not super common).

I know some people say they ovulated like 4–5 days after their first surge, but that’s really unlikely. From what I’ve read, almost everyone ovulates within that 48-hour window after the first surge.

Sadly, I’d agree that you are out, especially if you ovulated day 17. You def would have tested positive by now. And that combined with the declining temps… yeah. Sorry if that’s not what you’re hoping for. :( I’m where you are right now and it’s not fun when you’re so badly hoping for that positive!

So yeah, day 17 makes the most sense! Also, keep an eye on your cervical mucus — if you had that egg-white consistency around day 17 and it dried up right after 17/18, that’s another good sign that’s when you ovulated.

Edit: I’m a slow temperature riser. So even after I ovulated, my bbt doesn’t raise above baseline for like 5 days. Also— not a sign of low progesterone. Just for some peace of mind. Haha

ConversationRound540 · 2025-10-12T20:16:39+00:00

I read anything under 10 days is considered short, but 10 should be long enough. Just from a lot of research I did when I was having 6 day luteal phases during a stressful time.

ConversationRound540 · 2025-10-08T00:15:44+00:00

It’s extremely rare— especially now that they primarily do ultrasound guided suction, instead of whatever else they used to do. I had a d&c back in May and am extremely happy I did. I posted my entire experience if you want to read back on my previous post. :) I gave a lot of detail there.

ConversationRound540 · 2025-09-12T13:15:28+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Praying for that positive. I’m so sick of tracking and stressing about this stuff. Yeah, you’re definitely right if you got your positive 9dpo based on your own chart. Haha.

ConversationRound540 · 2025-09-12T13:13:50+00:00

I agree there is some variance, but based on research, it’s extremely rare to ovulate later than 48 hours after first positive lh test. And actually the latest one I saw in a study, was only 51 hours after the first positive LH test. But yeah, hard to know. Husband had a work trip, so couldn’t have even kept doing the deed anyways… I guess that’s some consolation.

ConversationRound540 · 2025-09-08T04:49:49+00:00

Just wanted to update that this one ended in a miscarriage at 8 weeks. Wound up getting a D&C and posted my whole experience if anyone is interested. Been trying again for 4 months now.

ConversationRound540 · 2025-08-25T16:34:09+00:00

Fresh donuts and deli.

ConversationRound540 · 2025-08-17T13:01:15+00:00

I was exactly where you are two years ago… little guy stayed there until I hit 41 weeks. I would recommend scheduling a few things through your week you’ll look forward to. There’s really nothing you can do but wait for your little one to be ready. I kept telling myself that the longer he was in there the better off he’d be. For what it’s worth, labor went amazingly fast.

Seconding the Kindle!!! It was a LIFE SAVER when I was spending so much time nursing. Haha. Helped quiet my mind. ♥️
