Im so sorry to hear of your loss

I had a mmc also and felt i couldnt deal with the pain i may experiance from a mc at home.I wasnt willing to let them perform a d&c however unless i could be 100% sure myself that there was no hope.I had my dating scan on the friday, went back on the monday for a second scan to be sure and was told that the sac had showed signs of deterioration and was actually shrinking slowly.I looked over the notes/pictures myself and researched it just to be sure and once i accepted this was all accurate i had the d&c two days later on the wednesday.If you want further tests then ask for them, i think its hard to accept a mmc because theres no signs and its hard to believe its really happening, i needed that extra scan for my own peace of mind and if you need that then dont hesitate to ask for another.
I dont know what pain is involved but i would assume its more than period pain depending on how far you were in your pregnancy, i was 14 weeks 4 days and a week after the op i ended up passing clots at home and it was really painful.If your worried about pain relief maybe ask for a precription from the hospital.I would suggest you get soluble solpadiene for now as i found it was the best (tastes awful tho!) and the other over the counter painkillers didnt do much for me.I was given two tablets to take orally at 5am the morning of the op and by the time i checked into the hospital at 7am i had begun bleeding.It was very quick and painless thanks to the general aneasthetic and after a long nap and some tea i was home by 5pm.It would have been quicker but id stayed up all night the night before so i was exhausted and slept all day.
As far as i know (and this is just from what ive read so wouldnt be 100% sure) the sac can keep growing in some cases but will eventually get to a stage where it begins to deteriorate and it wont keep growing for very long.Hope your doing ok
