2nd time around (long... sorry)

SharleeD · July 2012

hi ladies. while im sure that you are all lovely people, i really hate to be joining you yet again.

my first loss in feb was diagnosed with a blighted ovum with the sac measuring 6 wks and some days when I should have been 8 wks based on my LMP (had f/u u/s to make sure and only the sac).

fast forward this pregnancy. i got a bfp at the beg of june (after missing my period by about 2.5/3 wks). i had an u/s at what i thought would be 8wks based on lmp and saw 2 sacs measuring at 5.5 wks. i was optimistic since i figured that i O'd late since it took so long to get pos tests. i went back today for f/u (2 wks after the original one) and saw those 2 empty sacs again measuring at 6.5 wks. my doc then tells me that he thinks i have a luteal phase defect and ways that we will work on it "next time."

i just dont know what to do now... do i have another d&c (is that even safe to have 2 of those in a 4 month period - the other was in feb)? or do i have just wait around and let it happen? why didnt my doc just go ahead and put me on the progesterone this time around to prevent another early loss?

im so sorry to take so much but i really just needed to vent to other women to get what im going through bc my friends and family dont really get it... thanks for listening

So sorry you are going through this ... again. ((HUGS)) I would ask your doctor about repeat D&C risks. I had natural m/c so I have no experience with that. I don't think many doctors start to investigate or treat after 1 m/c - they just say "it happens." Even if you test, you don't find answers half of the time. I wish I could go back and change things in the past, too, so I know how you feel. But we have to remind ourselves that we can only affect the present and future. Hope you feel better soon and get some answers.

So sorry for your losses! Its so hard emotionally. I had 2 m/c as well with in a 3 month period so I know exactly how you are feeling. My first m/c I had a D&C and the second one I just passed naturally. Are you bleeding at all? I'm not sure what the precautions are with having 2 D&C procedures. I don't think that it should be a problem if that is what you decide to do. My thoughts are with you!! All I can tell you is that it does get easier with time. I know there are a lot of questions that are unanswered but don't give up!

I'm so, so sorry for your losses. I don't have any advice, but I just wanted you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I just experienced my second loss three weeks ago; I'm sorry you are joining us.

I'm so sorry for your losses sweetie, I hate that anyone has to go through this at all much less multiple times. I know it's so frustrating to just now be offered treatment for "next time" - I think miscarriage is so common that doctors don't really look into things further until you've had a couple in a row (yes, that is completely unfair and sucks, I hate that it is like that).

I would ask your doctor about repeat D & Cs, I really don't know any facts about it. Please feel free to vent or post on here anytime, although I know none of us wants to be here it is a great source of support. (( Hugs ))
