Last week I had a d&c for a missed miscarriage. I was 10 weeks 4 days but the baby was 8 weeks and no heartbeat. This is my 3rd miscarriage so my doctor is now letting me start doing some testing. My follow up appointment is next Friday were I should get the pathology and chromosome testing results. At that time she said we would set up the blood tests she wants to do. My question what tests should I expect her to order? She doesn't think that anything will come back as an issue since all of my loses were different (1 chemical, 1 blighted ovum, and 1 with a hb that then stopped).

Here's a great link on the TTCAL Blog. You should also probably see an RE for RPL testing rather than just using your OB. Most insurance covers RPL testing for diagnostics even if that is with a specialist, and they will do more in depth hormonal testing than and RE will. I also loved the book "Coming to Term" as critical opinion to diagnosis's and treatment options for RPL.
