I had 2 missed carriages before both y weeks. First went through D&C second went through oral medication. D&C for me almost no after pain, fast procedure. Orally was bearable as well but the pain and waves of 'contraction ' could last whole day to expel out athe miscarriage and if its incomplete, still have to undergo D&C. For your situation of its 17 weeks I would propose D&C, but again choice is yours, take care dear, dont be disheartened. Both processes poses no threat to my body, currently 33 weeks pregnant now.
Sorry to hear that :( happen to me before , I took oral meds instead
