Spotting during 1st trimester pregnancy.. my experience :(

Well this may not be the case for everyone as one of my friends spots through her whole 1st trimester because of a weak cervix.
I started spotting 10/5/2015 but never got my period took a test on 10/8/2015 and got a BFP. Went to urgent care because of spotting and I was 24 HCG too early to see anything on the ultrasound. Went back the following week for another HCG test on 10/16/2015. MY HCG levels were 1285 so everything was looking good in the mean time still spotting brown and light red, like a quarter size on my panty liner everyday. But that evening I started bleeding heavily and I knew then something wasn't right I was crying on my way home something just didn't feel right. Went back to the emergency room on 10/21/2015 my HCG levels had only raised to 1585 & the baby only looked like 4-5 weeks no heart beat which I should have been 7 weeks. They also said I have bleeding around my gestational sac. :( Today I went back my HCG levels were 1957.. & the Dr did another ultrasound and she said my baby wasn't growing the only reason my HCG levels were rising was because of the placenta they want to do a D&C on me this coming Tuesday but I feel as if I don't have no choice, she also found a fibroid I have to get removed on my cervix which at 1st they thought it was a cervical polyp.. I am so devastated since I am 36 and this was my 1st pregnancy.. Has anyone had a D&C.. I don't believe in abortions but I also don't want to leave this untreated I heard you can get infections if you don't get cleaned out.

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage, most of the time your body will take care of it on its own but I've had a D&C for a missed miscarriage, the gestational sac kept growing even though the baby had stopped quite early on. Let's get one thing straight though.... you are not having an abortion! There is no fetus to abort, it is no longer living.
Stories like this are tough to hear but are by no way helping another mother in her quest to conceive and by no way helping a mother who is scared because she is spotting.
Again I'm very sorry for your loss.
