TTC After a Loss

I'm back....

Looks like it was a chemical pregnancy. I had a cp in Dec, a missed mc in Feb and now another cp.  Do you think I should ask my OB for some kind of testing? What kind of testing do they start out with for people with mult. losses??? I just am not sure where to go from here... Thanks for listening...

Re: I'm back....

  • I am so sorry for your losses. I would ask for testing if I were you. They start out with blood tests, for like factor V, thyroid disorders, blood sugar tests. All kinds of stuff. Again I am sorry for your losses and good luck with testing.((HUGS))

  • ((hugs)) I am so sorry you are back here.  Definitely ask your Dr. about testing if he or she does not already bring it up.

  • First I am so sorry you are back here and going through this. I had a m/c in January and I believe Im going through a c/p now or an early m/c. However my doctor has already said that he is going to do some testing to see whats going on. He said the first time is nothing to really be worried about however having two documented pregnancy losses is somthing that needs to be looked into. I believe that with three, it would be time to get some testing done and figure out what is going on.  
  • I am so sorry for your loss. I do not have advice about testing, but just wanted to express my condolences!

  • I'm so sorry for your losses and that you have to come back here.  I had blood work done about 10 days ago for recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL panel) and am waiting for the results.  I would definitely bring it up to your doctor.  My testing is being done through my OB.

  • Sorry to see you back here. I would Definately check with the doctor about testing, but I don't know what that entails. ((hugs))

  • I'm so sorry you find yourself here again. Definitely ask for testing. Your doctor will probably order lots of bloodwork, checking for thyroid, hormone, and clotting problems. Hope he/she is able to give you some answers.

  • I'm sorry for your loss. Here's a list I found on an RE's blog of the most common recurrent loss tests:

    Hysteroscopy, pelvic ultrasound, blood tests for antiphospholipid antibody (full screen), ANA, Lupus anticoagulant, Leidin factor V, RPR, Toxoplasmosis, Chromosomal analysis in you and your husband, hormone panel.

  • Welcome back, sorry your loss. I would be asking my doctor about testing and if they don't seemed concerned perhaps getting a second opinion if not a new doctor. GL
