I just had my second loss in 5 months. I would like to move forward with testing to figure out if anything is wrong, but from what I am reading on the internet most doctors will not do any tests until after 3 losses. I don't want to have to go through this again if something is wrong and I can fix it now. I also don't want to try to get pregnant again and suffer another loss just for doctors to be able to take things seriously.
Has anyone been in this boat? Your experiences would be appreciated! Are there certain tests that your doctor was more willing to do after only two losses? Or any suggestions on tests that I should have done at this stage? I meet with my OBGYN on Wednesday so it would be nice going in with some idea on what types of testing I should try to knock out now (and what she's likely willing do to).

Re: 2 Losses- Options for testing??
My doctor thinks it's inhumane to make someone wait for three losses, but then again it all depends on the type of loss you had.
I had an early loss at 4 weeks a year and a half ago, and we just lost our little girl at 22 weeks to what the doctor

We advocated for ourselves to see an RE after our second loss. They did a full panel of tests from blood clotting and much more. Sadly we lost our daughter af
