Hey y'all,
I'm new to this scene unfortunately. I've been lurking for a little while but thought I would introduce myself. I'm 29, DH 32. I guess my story starts way back when I was 21 and DH was 24. We accidentally got pregnant (which seems like a miracle now), but I was thrilled. Sadly, that resulted in a MC at around 5 weeks. Fast forward to Jan 2015, we started trying to conceive because we were actually ready. 16 months later after two rounds of femara, we finally got a BFP. Sadly, that ended in a MMc at 12 weeks (baby passed at 9 weeks). I had a D&C on July 14, 2017. Since then, I've met with a RE who agrees we should do some testing and some monitored cycles after that. We are waiting for chromosome testing to come back for the baby, which seems like it's taking forever, to guide which way to start testing. If abnormal, he wants to do genetic testing on us. If normal, he wants to start with a saline u/s to look at my uterus. Apparently, the saline u/s needs to be in the first 10 days of the cycle, which I'm sure AF is on her way soon. Do you think it would be unreasonable to go ahead and ask for that to be scheduled even if the chromosome testing isn't back yet? Anything I should be doing while I wait? I'm still a rookie in all this so any advice is welcomed.

@mrsjcrane Welcome , but sorry you find yourself here... Like @dmo1371, my RE required it from the very beginning. So I don't think there'd be any harm in doing it now, especially if it prevents you from having to wait another cycle. That's the worst!!! (We were put on a 2 cycle break by our RE in June after our MC and even though it was necessary, I just felt like it was time wasted)
