Parenting after a Loss

Healthy pregnancies after normal D&C results

Hi everyone. I hope it is okay I poster this here (I also posted in PregAL, but thought some of you may have good stories!), as I am just a lurker on this board.

I had a D&C for a mmc in March 2013. The D&C chromosomal tests came back as normal XX (I know there is a chance this tissue could have been mine by mistake). Since finding this out I have asked for the RLP and my only result that came back as slightly abnormal was my anticardiolipin IgA levels (was told that this didn't mean anything).

I have been getting nervous about getting pregnant and going through another loss since I have no idea why my last miscarriage happened. Do any of your ladies have any good stories/experiences about successful pregnancies after finding a D&C showed normal chromosomal results?

Re: Healthy pregnancies after normal D&C results

  • Hi there!  I'm so sorry for your loss. 

    I had a d&c with my first pregnancy b/c I had a missed m/c.  My OB discussed testing with DH and I, and we actually decided not to have any done, so I guess I can't answer that part of your question.  But I did want to let you know that I had a successful pregnancy with my next one. 

    Sometimes m/cs happen for really no reason at all, not that that makes them any easier to experience.  I hope you get your rainbow soon!  (hugs)

    I had an ectopic so my pregnancy was removed and sent off (along with my tube). My chromosomal results were a normal XX as well.

    I went on to have 2 successful pregnancies with my boys. Sometimes there aren't any reasons for why losses happen. (HUGS) I hope you get good news soon. I 'm sorry your stopping by here for answers today.

  • Thanks everyone! Your stories have made me feel much more at ease. I wish you all the best!
  • I didn't have any testing done, but I had two losses after two successful pregnancies. I had D&Cs with both. My OB seemed to think it was just bad luck. We tried one more time, and had a completely problem free pregnancy and a rainbow baby in March. So sorry for your loss, hope this gives you hope!

  • I also didn't have any testing done but I had a D&C and then a natural MC.  Both very early.  Third time was the charm.  I got pregnant but then had a bleed.  I honestly think I may have caused it by overdoing my exercise.  I was on couch rest for a week, the bleed resolved itself and the rest of the pregnancy was completely normal.  I got pregnant again and my second son was born after a completely normal pregnancy.

    I'm sorry for your loss.  Hang in there and good luck!
