After Loss Testing (salsawifey)

For those who had testing done after your loss, how long did it take to get your results?

I intro'd over at the Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss board but they aren't as active and I still feel like I fit in better here. I hope you don't mind.

    I got my results at my follow up appointment 2 weeks later. I don't know if they were in sooner, but emotionally I could not handle calling for them. We never found out why we lost DS. I hope you are able to find some answers. ((HUGS))

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm mobile and couldn't find your intro on mc/l so please forgive me if I'm not answering the question you intended to ask. My RE's office called ten days after my D&C with the results.

    I can't remember the exact time but it was somewhere between 1-2 weeks for all of the tests to come back. They were really nice at my RE clinic and let me check in every couple of days and as results started coming back, they shared them with me. The karyotype took the longest to come back.

    Do you mean testing of the baby? 2 weeks. For my first loss they came out showing nothing was wrong with the fetus though.
    More in depth testing by the RE a few losses ater took between about 2 months to get, but it was a more in depth testing and lots of it was cyclical testing.

    You've already been diagnosed with RA & Srjogen's - you might already have your answer there - especially if the results yield a chromosomally perfect fetus. If they do, my recommendation would be to seek a RE or MFM who deals with immunological issues in relation to loss, specifically a doctor who would be comfortable prescribing prednisone (or similar) and possible Lovenox during a pregnancy. And if you haven't already, you should definitely read Dr. Beer's book, "Is My Body Baby Friendly" and read thrugh Dr. Braverman's blog https://www.preventmiscarriage.com
