Question about follow up?

edited May 2014 in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
Sorry if this is a dumb question. I was just curious for those of you who have already had your follow up appointment, what exactly did they go over/do? They've already called me with the results of my Pap smear and the pathology from my d&c.. I know every doc is different.. I'm just trying to get an idea of exactly what to prepare for.

    At my follow up they did an internal exam and asked how I was doing.  Then we discussed when we could have protected sex and when we could start trying again.  She looked at my path report while I was there.  It was a pretty quick visit.  They told me to call if I don't get AF within 6 weeks.

    My follow up did not include an exam. She just asked when the pain and bleeding stopped and went over the lab test. This was my first loss due to a chromosome abnormality discovered at 12 wks with the d&c at 16 wks after a mmc.

    She pretty much just asked me if I had any complications or questions and since I had no complications, that was all. It was the shortest doctor visit ever. That was at two weeks, I have my six week appointment tomorrow and I'm not sure what this will entail.

    I'm so sorry for your loss.

    My follow-up they asked me how I was doing, did an internal exam just to see that everything is back to normal, checked to see that my uterus was shrinking or back to normal, did a pregnancy test to determine that there wasn't any remaning tissue (can cause a false positive), went over my pathology results that I requested and gave me some loss brochures and a list of grief counselors.  She also agreed that I had my post-procedure period and was free to start trying whenever we were ready.

    At my two-week post MC appt, my doc tested me for HCG levels. It was important to her that I didn't get PG again before they went back down to "normal." something about the initial PG messing with the new PG and her being unable to get a "good" reading on the health of the new PG. Anyway, I had to go in 2 more times to get my HCG levels tested again before they were back to "normal" and then we got the "ok" to TTC again.
