Update and Question

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

I haven't been around in a while because I have been swamped at work (I'm an accountant) since I was off for 2 weeks. Here is a background of me:

I had a d&c on 3/27. I was supposed to be 13 weeks and the baby stopped growing at 12.5 weeks. They sent everything off for testing and it came back that our baby had triploid syndrome. That just means that instead of having the normal 46 chromosomes (23 from mom and 23 from dad) he had an extra set of 23 for a total of 69 (XXY). My brother had kleinfelter's syndrome which is 1 extra chromorsome (47) so we are being referred to a genetic counselor to see if this could be a genetic thing. I doubt that, but we will find out. It is just so nice to finally have an answer and something to blame. I wish everyone got the comfort of having a reason. I'm lucky in this regard.

My question relates to my d&c. It will be 5 weeks this Wednesday. I stopped bleeding at the 3.5 week mark, but I am still having brownish muscus. I go through 2ish panty liners a day so it isn't a ton, but it is annoying and a constant reminder. My doc scheduled an u/s for next week to make sure she got everything. I'm kind of worried that she didn't because that would make me have surgery again. Has anyone been through this before? I feel like I should be done with the discharge by now.

I also think I had a period already. I started breaking out really bad (which I still am) and had back pains and light cramping at about the 2.5-3.5 week mark. I haven't had any other bleeding since then. I'm guessing my next cylce will be either next week or the week after.

I'm just feeling like the exception and not the rule and that isn't comforting at all. Thanks for reading and sorry this got so long.

    You should be ok as far as genetic concerns go. I used to work in a genetics lab, and both Kleinfelter and Turner's syndrome are generally due to nondisjunction during fertilization. The genetic concern comes in when you have XXXY or XXYY. Those are more commonly associated with parents who either express or are carriers for the gene. As to your question, my OB said that I could have bleeding ranging from spotting to a normal flow for up to 6 weeks post D&C. Hopefully you won't need a 2nd surgery! I'll keep you in my prayers! =)

    So sorry for your loss.  I am glad you are going to see your Dr.  I had DnC in Feb. AF came back 5 weeks later and second AF came back last week which was on CD 29.  After MC I was lucky I did not have any cramping or pain.  I only had slight bleeding for a few days.  I know everyone is so different the best thing to do is to talk to your Dr to make sure all is ok.

    Keep us posted on how you are doing.

    I also had to go for a 2nd d&c due to more tissue in my uterus. It's better to get it checked out. Hope you feel better soon.

    That sucks for both of you. I'm terrified to have to go under again. I hate that feeling. I'm hoping that there is nothing there, but everytime I go to the bathroom there is stuff floating. How did they determine that you still have stuff in your uterus? Did they do an u/s sound? Was it easy to spot?

    My doctor did a pelvic exam and found tissue then did an ultrasound to find the rest.
