My doctor feels satisfied that since the problem was chromosomal we have good chances for our next pregnancy and do not need to run any more tests. Do you agree? Or would it be wise for me to still have immune and hormonal testing done? What about an HSG? Are these no longer necessary know that we have found the problem? Could there be more than one thing going wrong? I want to do everything I can to avoid another m/c.

Also, can trisomy 16 be passed on from one of the parents--could this affect future pregnancies? Or is it a completely random occurence?

Lastly, both my mother and sister had m/c's and were treated with progesterone supplements and carried to term. Is this something that could be an inherited problem? My doctor is very skeptical of the efficacy of progesterone supplements and does not seem inclined to test my progesterone or do an endometrial biopsy. Any thoughts on this?

Thank you so much for your help.
