OK my bloods yesterday showed the hcG had just about halved again, so still remaining tissue.
While in the shower last night I decided to check cervical position/opening etc (I don't regularly do this) and discovered some tissue half hanging out of my cervix - not easily removable.
Phoned the Assessment Unit first thing this morning, went in about 10ish, the doc had a look but was unable to remove the tissue. I did not want her to continue at this point.
I was still pretty against D+C especially without being scanned to see what was left. Begged to try the miso one last time (wasn't going to get scanned today as MRT's on strike) and stayed in the day unit . . . long story shortish, cervix open a bit about 4 hours after miso, 'products of conception' manually extracted although still a clot left, but I was ready for her to have taken the speculum out like 10 minutes ago, hopefully I can pass the last of this on the tail end of this miso (which hasn't really produced that much so far).
Scan next week (hopefully they're not gonna charge me for this . . .) and fx this is it . . .

Oh wow. At least most of it has passed now and hopefully the the miso gets the last remaining clot out. I hope your scan next weeks shows you are in the clear as you've already been through so much

guess what, I still have placenta with active blood supply.
Woohoo. Am I still pregnant? My body still thinks so.
Dunno how I can go through 3 miso treatments and STILL have half of it left in there.
Sooooo over this . . . or not?

OMG, are you okay? Well that's a dumb question. We're here for you spanky so talk if you need to. I hope your doctors have got a next step for you to sort things out. It's not fair you have to keep going through all this

I'm actually not too bad, remarkably well considering! Keeping busy and not keeping this stuff in my head is good though, have felt people being a lot more 'present' this time round (but I'm being more open and verbose about it all too)
Pretty frustrated too though . . . I can't really understand how its lasted through all this miso and additional cramping.
Things seem to be slowing down bleeding-wise and no cramping or tenderness since last miso, but haven't had a hormone crash yet (so riding this as much as poss - went back to gym this week to try and address the deconditioning, but too woozy to do anything too hardout).
My hcg's seem to be halving every 3 days, I'm now down to 290 or something.
The sonographer did a 3D scan after all (yay for him!) but couldn't determine whether I had a wonky ute or not, so no clearer on the D+C (actually very clear, still trying to avoid, within reason). he told me I had 'textbook presentation of retained products' and something needed to be done.
Roll forward one hour and I have a doctor telling me she thinks it might be a polyp. But that they don't need to operate, will take my hcgs then and next week and review next Wednesday.
I think surgery is inevitable, I'm wondering if something can be done with hysteroscope.
there's risk of scarring from D+C and there's risk of scarring from infected retained products, so don't know whats best.

Well considering your HCG is 290 surely there must have been some retained product? At least it reducing though, that's the main thing. It's good their doing scans and keeping an eye on things without you having to chase them. It's hard to know what the right decision is in a situation like that. I really hopes it all works out and you can avoid surgery. You are handling everything really well too!

Yay, no surgery. Watching and waiting - weekly bt's till hcg hits the magic 0
Was 82 yesterday, and halves every 3 days, so in about 3 weeks I should be able to POAS for a BFN! Who would actually be looking forward to that?
Taking double iron doses, on a steak and spinach diet (and failing miserably, I don't make a good daily carnivore), and a bit less dizzy (not that I should have been anyway, only the stores are low).
Still bleeding, which is just annoying now.
Still not sure how I'm feeling. Haven't been upset too much lately, when I have, its been around the prospect of surgery and risks, not miscarriage stuff. Feel like a bit of a fraud, in that I'm not that upset about loss (ok, if I sit and think about it, I can be). I didn't think about due date too much as in 'its gonna happen', this preg seemed very much 'see what happens, don't get too excited'
The only thing I guess I felt sad about is that it was probably this week that we would have told everyone we were utd (playing it safe)
Maybe I'm still in the 'numb' phase?

It's great the HCG is coming down and yeah, it does seem a bit whacky looking forward to getting a BFN, lol.
I hope you don't get side swiped by the awful grief feelings. Don't worry you're not a fraud if you don't! I remember my numb stage and it was like I did everything on auto pilot. I had no emotion at all. I was like a zombie. You don't sound like that so fx you'll be okay.
Sometimes I think about how far along I'd be right now but I don't get sad which is good, it just makes me even more focused on doing the right things to get UTD again as soon as possible so I can have my only lovely bundle of joy one day 
FX that won't be long for either of us.

Glad that the hcg is coming down Spanky. So pleased you dont have to have surgery as well. Three weeks will be up before you know, you can pee on the stick, get your BFN and then concentrate on your BFP
My grief didn't kick in til around 3 months after my D&C........I think its different for everyone. I had days of feeling great, weeks of feeling like sh*te. I didn't manage my grief very well though, if there is a next time (god forbid) I will know what to do to take care of myself better. Dreading October a little bit, thats the due date of my number 3 angel. Think I'll be ok though, feeling pretty good about life at the moment. Mabye I'll celebrate my angel's due date with a BFP

Posting here for jjands, don;t want to be psychostalker but are you getting my PM's, I know I sent one or 2. No pressure to reply, just got a feeling and thought I'd ask here.
Well in other news I guess those 3 weeks are up? I think I'm going to try and do positive focus things in the Preggy Planning Forum and will try and keep the mc ranty stuff in this forum (although I know will cross over there too)
Hcg was 3 this week so still not 'clear'. Seemingly gearing up for another af after one maybe 3 weeks ago - hello cramping and clots and bleeding harder again.
Think the grief is starting to kick in too, I'm getting stupidly sad over my Gran having been dead for 15 years tomorrow (its not upset me for years).
Its manageable, I'm much more ok with crying in front of people I don't know too well, but in certain environments of invisibility and indifference it doesn't help feeling all alone in this.
I told myself I would treat myself to a fullbody massage when the bleeding stopped and my body hasn't even the decency to allow me this.
Over six weeks of daily bleeding with only one day of no bleeding. 3 misoprostol sessions, two periods, one manual removal of material, endless cramping, not sure how many internal exams, one ultrasound, one garden burial, endless tears, ten(?) blood tests, over 100 sanitary pads, no BD (not risking infection and the constant bleedings a bit offputting and a constant reminder. Poor DP - watermelons for nuts) and STILL NOT RESOLVED.
So hoping the hcg doesn't hang out at 2 or 3 for a couple of weeks

Miso 2nd time round? *warning, maybe TMI?
