Miscarriage Management

We will provide you with compassionate treatment and support during your miscarriage.

Miscarriage is the loss of pregnancy before the embryo or fetus can live on its own outside the uterus. It is also called early pregnancy loss or spontaneous abortion. Miscarriage is fairly common with 10-20% of all pregnancies ending in miscarriage.

We will give you support during this difficult time and provide additional information to take with you, depending on your treatment choice, plus resources for the emotional toll of miscarriage and for your future fertility options.

Treatment Options

1. Doing Nothing or “Wait and See”: In at least half the cases, an incomplete or inevitable miscarriage will complete itself on its own within one week. The advantage of “wait and see” is that it avoids a procedure or the use of medications. Many consider this more natural.

2. Taking Medication: You will be given a combination of medications: Mifepristone/Misoprostol. The appointment includes: the ultrasound (sonogram) to assess stage of pregnancy, blood work, a review of your health history, giving informed consent, and learning what to expect during and after the procedure. The appointment may last anywhere from 3 to 5 hours.

3. Having a Vacuum Aspiration: The advantage of vacuum aspiration is that it rapidly removes the pregnancy tissue to complete the miscarriage.

An aspiration appointment includes: the ultrasound (sonogram) to assess stage of pregnancy, blood work, a review of your health history, giving informed consent, decision-making about sedation, as well as learning what to expect during and after the procedure, performing the aspiration, and your in-clinic recovery time. The appointment may last anywhere from 3 to 5 hours.

Sedation is an option for this procedure. Most patients find themselves to be quite comfortable during and after, and generally do not have a recollection of the actual procedure taking place. To receive sedation prior to your procedure, you MUST have a responsible adult drive you home and a plan to remain in their care for 24 hours.
