I also had a miscarriage before having my three children, it was slightly different to yours in that the sac developed as if I wasn't pregnant but was empty. Also had symptoms and only discovered because we went for an early scan out of excitement.
Anyway I needed to have a d&c, I'm not in Cork but I was told I had to wait a week after my first visit to EPU to have a second scan to be sure. Then after that scan I think I had the d&c two days later.
I had the d&c mid end Nov and had my first child the following December so would have been pregnant about 3 or 4 months later and thankfully all was fine.
Sorry for your loss too. That's allot more waiting than I expected

Yes the waiting was horrible. Without sounding terrible I think they were afraid of doing the d&c in case they were incorrect (chances were very slim).
Mine was quite early as we had the early scan at 8 weeks, so they needed to wait in case my dates were wrong etc. They also wanted to see if I would miscarry naturally.
How far along we're you? And how did you find out about the mis?0 -

Joys of the 8th amendment.
I had a missed miscarriage two years ago. My dates were certain and they were worried about it possibly being partial molar so the scan that found it was on the Tuesday and the d&c was on the Friday. I was public in the Rotunda.
Definitely go with the d&c if you can. I went in at 6am, was home by 1pm and was physically over it by midday the next day. Mentally took a bit longer but my son was born almost exactly a year later. Everything I've read about the pill option suggests it's far more drawn out and painful.0 -

I am supposed to be 8 weeks but measure less than 6 with no heartbeat I had a private early scan like you. 0 -

We actually had our private scan in Cork so probably the same place
Your next step will be to get into the EPU, I went on the Monday to my GP who then got me an appointment a day or two after with the EPU. If I had my time again I'd probably just ring direct to the maternity dept and go from there.
I hope you don't have too long to wait. Must be hard with other kids at home so you can't sit and grieve much I'm sure.
I was also public but I don't think that makes any difference for the EPU or the d&c. I was offered to wait another week or d&c, I don't think they offered tablets but can't remember exactly. It was eight years ago now.
As a previous poster said the d&c was fine physically, and not something to worry too much about.0 -
