Subject: 2 D&C's - no natural miscarriage, why?
> I've had two D&C's. First one was fully formed fetus, no heartbeat or
> bloodflow around baby. Waited 3 weeks for D&C (earliest they could
> schedule me) no bleeding or anything. Second was for Blighted Ovum,
> discovered during 6 week ultrasound, monitored with weekly ultrasounds
> until 10 weeks, D&C scheduled for 11 weeks, and barely spotting about 3
> days before scheduled D&C. Why do I seem to not be able to miscarry
> naturally?? Is that an indication of high progesterone levels?? Also, I
> have suffered very long (only 2-3 per year) cycles, and was determined
> to be anovulatory. Doc said that all blood tests have come back normal
> thus far. He never did any Day 3 bloodwork, just day 21 progesterone,
> which came back low the one month he did do it at 7, but that I think
> was due to me not ovulating until Day 18. Could these cycles be cause
> for me suffering recurring miscarriages?? I don't agree with the Doctors
> view that I have to suffer a 3rd before he will send me to a specialist.
> There have been studies to prove this is an unnecessary step.

> Just looking for causes for my miscarriages, and possible solutions. Any
