I had my first miscarriage in Jan. 2013 @ a little over 7 weeks, got pregnant August 2013 and had a healthy baby girl the next May. We started trying again and I got pregnant in April. Yesterday when I went for my 12 week apt, there was no heartbeat, it had stopped growing at 7 weeks 5 days.... pretty much the same time as last time. My OB said that she normally does genetic testing and other types of tests after a 2nd miscarriage, but since I had a healthy pregnancy before she gave me the option of getting the tests or not. I originally told her no, that if it happened again I would. The more I think about it, I think that I do want to have testing done. If there are problems that would more than likely end up in another miscarriage, then I don't think that we will try again. We have been blessed with a healthy child and I don't think I can do this again. It's too much both emotionally and physically not just on me, but my husband. I do have thyroid problems, and that's what I always blamed my first miscarriage on since it was out of control at the time I got pregnant and was told by my Endocrinologist that a pregnancy would more than likely not make it until I got my thyroid under control. I just saw him a few weeks ago and it's in perfect range now,so I can't blame it on my thyroid anymore. I know a lot of the time the testing doesn't give you answers, but maybe it will give me a peace of mind. If anyone has done testing after a loss and could provide me with answers on what tests you had done or what was done I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
