I have a blighted ovum and I'm in limbo. I have a d&c scheduled for tomorrow, but I have been spotting since Friday, the spotting is now red and contains small clots but it's not even close to a regular period. I should be 9.5 weeks and it was measuring right at 5. I can wait but I have been waiting for two weeks and my doctor is going out of town so it would be another two weeks before I could get a d&c if this doesn't progress.

On top of that, my sister is coming to town Saturday through Tuesday and I'm not really looking to share all of this with her (um, but I'm not above feigning a stomach bug if necessary.) Plus, the procedure means $500 oop and my husband has to take a day off.

I did call and leave a message for my doctor but I suspect he's going to leave it up to me. Any thoughts?
