Well, tomorrow i go to the dr for the second f/u after my MC a week and 2 days ago. I went the day after to talk, and tomorrow, I am not sure what is going to happen. I think they will test my hormone levels, and answer any questions we have, not really sure. Maybe talk about if we are going to TTC when he gives the a ok, or birth control, not really sure, anybody know what happens at this appt? I know he is tracking my HCG levels to make sure they go down to zero, but other than that, not really sure...Will they do an u/s to check to see if all came out like last time, or idk??
Re: Tomorrow
I'm so sorry for you loss.
I had a natural m/c last Tuesday. I had a follow up appt on Friday. He just had them do a pregnancy test with my urine and that turned out negative which meant my levels were below 50 so he didn't even have any blood drawn. He was pretty sure things were "out" by what I'd described and such. We talked about TTC again and he said since I was 13 weeks he strongly advised against it for at least 6 months. Which was fine because we plan on waiting until next October to try. So I got some BC to go on in the mean time. He sent me on my way and said everything seemed fine and if I had any fever or really bad pains to go to the ER.
With my first m/c f/u my doc was blunt and told me when to start having sex again (protected) and when to start TTC. With my next one I want to ask more of what happened because he sent in the tissue since I had a d&c.
Bring a list of questions, you are paying for the visit so get your money's worth! See if DH has questions, too. They didn't check my hormones at the appointment for me or do an u/s, but that is from special circumstances. If he doesn't do any of this, but you want to have it done, just ask and he should be able to set it up for you.
Look up online for what questions to ask. That may help to. Also, another question to ask is what kind of exercise you can do and how strenuous it can be, if you are not lazy like me and work out that is!
ButterflyMommy, I am so sorry for you loss and everything you have gone through. I hope this helps.
