Do I need a D&C ?
I had chemical last mth. I ovulated on day 12. I chart plus I use fertility monitor. I was at 10 dpo being scanned for my 2 nd stage fertility tests and a sac was visible on screen so doc said its possible you're already pregnant but not certain. It pained us, but we waited until 13 dpo to test and ta dah we were pregnant!!. So exciting to see the positive and a 2nd test 2 days later confirmed again although my sore boobs were a more conclusive sign. I don't know why but I continued to take my bbt temps all week but I noticed on day 17 my temp dipped drastically. I frantically googled it - Possible sign of m/c :( I was so upset that my hubby told me to stop charting. I didn't, but sure enough I had the most horrendous pains + heavy bleed for 1 day, very clotty and slimy followed by a little spotting day 2. This cycle I didn't ovulate and got af yesterday after 40 long days and today nothing! So another short AF. Do I need a d&c ? I'm now wondering if it's not come away, Thoughts?

A D&C is usually not needed after a chemical pregnancy that ended early. It is necessary if fetal material has been retained which is most often the case with miscarriages in later stages. I would see the dr to possibly get HCG levels checked; may be an ultrasound will be scheduled. This should bring clarity. All the best.
