2ND MISCARRIAGE-PREVENTING A 3RD?From: SANDY (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 27 Apr 2001 08:48:02 -0500 (CDT)
MY FIRST MISCARRIAGE ENDED AT ALMOST 14 WEEKS WITH A D&C (DECEMBER)-NO FETAL HEARTBEAT. WAS TOLD TO WAIT UNTIL I HAD "3" REGULAR MENSTRUAL CYCLES BEFORE TRYING AGAIN. EVERYTHING WAS PROGRESSING WELL-AFTER "3" REGULAR MONTHS STARTED TRYING AND FOUND I WAS PREGNANT ON APRIL 18TH AND WAS 5 1/2 WEEKS PREGNANT- I STARTED TO EXP. SOME CRAMPING/BLEEDING SEVERAL DAYS LATER. I HAD TAKEN "3" HPT ALL POSITIVE-DR'S URINE TEST SHOWED NEGATIVE. HOWEVER, BLOOD TEST CAME BACK POSITIVE-HCG OF 29. WAS TOLD THAT I EXPERIENCED AN EARLY MISCARRIAGE AND WOULD REQUIRE MORE BLOOD WORK FOR HCG MONITORING-AND HOPEFULLY WILL NOT REQUIRE ANOTHER D&C. I HAVE NO EXPLANTIONS FOR EITHER LOSS-AND DR'S DO NOT PROVIDE FURTHER TESTING UNTIL "3" CONSECUTIVE MISCARRIAGES. MY QUESTION IS TWO FOLD: HOW LONG SHOULD WE WAIT BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANOTHER PREGNANCY (PHYSICALLY) AND ARE THERE ANY SPECIFIC TESTS I SHOULD REQUEST BEFORE WE TRY AGAIN? I FEEL LOST AND DONT KNOW HOW AGGRESSIVE I NEED TO BE WITH DR'S FOR FURTHER INFO/TESTING-AFTERALL I UNDERSTAND THAT THE CHANCES FOR A MISCARRIAGE ARE 20%, PERHAPS I WAS JUST UNFORTUNATE THE FIRST TWO TIMES-HOWEVER I'M VERY ANXIOUS AND CONCERNED THAT THIS IS SOMETHING MORE AND I DON'T WISH TO EXP. A THIRD MISCARRIAGE IN ORDER TO MEET QUALIFICATIONS FOR FURTHER TESTING-I'M TOLD THIS IS STANDARD PRACTICE. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
