I'm so sorry, Tiffany. Agree with bride, this is not a fun club to be a part of.
So your dr won't do recurrent pregnancy loss bloodwork at this point? Like for thrombophilias and MTHFR etc? I don't know what kind of insurance you have but we met our deductible so we only paid 20% of the negotiated rates and it wasn't bad at all. Less than $100 if I remember. The chromosomal testing would have been more expensive but we didn't get to that point. but learning something from that testing and finding out that there was something we could do about it was the one bright spot in an otherwise black hole of a situation for me.
Also, is taking cytotec an option for you to omplete the miscarriage? I did that with both of mine and while it wasn't fun, it was over with relatively quickly and I didn't even miss work since I took it over the weekend. It took one dose for me for the first one but two doses for my second.
BFP 12.20.2010 :: missed m/c 1/2011 around 8 weeks
BFP @ 9dpo 5.24.2011 :: missed m/c 6/2011 around 7 weeks
positive for ANAs (1:40) with a speckled pattern
MTHFR c677t mutation (heterozygous)
*folic acid, baby asprin, Prometrium, acupuncture, Lovenox*
BFP @ 9dpo 2.1.2012 || HCG = 8 : Progesterone = 19.2
2nd HCG @ 11dpo = 40 || 3rd HCG @ 21dpo = over 5000!
Stick, little one, stick! EDD October 15, 2012
I am SO sorry for your loss. My heart hurts for you.
I was also part of that small percentage. I had 2 m/c in a year, and DS was born almost a year to the day after my 2nd m/c. It was such a hard time and I hate that you're going through that now as well. I think it's good you're considering the testing. We did quite a few tests after the 2nd loss and found that I needed baby aspirin. We won't ever know if the baby aspirin saved my future pregnancies, but I do know I might have gone crazy without the peace of mind that there was nothing seriously wrong with me/us.
You didn't ask for advice, but if you're considering it, I'd encourage the D&C. I waited for my 2nd m/c to happen naturally and it was so hard. I think the D&C got me on the road to emotional recovery a lot faster.
Hugs.
