I have to get some tests done after m/c is over. Can anyone tell me about thier experience?

My doctor called and told me he wants to do a Uteral Evaluation. So after I stop m/c ing I have to go get an hCG done the week of the 14th. Just so he knows the level is 0.

Then I get AF and call him immediately. He said that he was going to take bloodwork, which I know is testing for hormones.

An HSG? Can you tell me what it is and if it's painful?

An endometrial (uterus) biopsy? Which I know they biopsy your uterus. Has anyone had this done? How long did it take? Was it painful? Did you bleed after?

I hope they find what they need and hopefully I will be pg by the end of August begining of Sept. That would be cool!

Thanks girly girls!!

Re: I have to get some tests done after m/c is over. Can anyone tell me about thier experience?

With my second miscarriage, I had a d/c and they tested the baby. It turned out to be a chromosome abnormality.

Have they tested any of your miscarriages to determine what is happening ? You would need a D/C in order to do this. Is there any reason they are having you miscarry naturally ?

That is the only test that I had, so I can't help you with the ones you are asking about. Not sure what they are.

i would FM melijane - i know she had a history of recurrent miscarriages and (unfortunately) knows a lot about this stuff.

(she's pregnant with twins now so there is hope!)

After my last m/c on 3/07 I had a D&C but the fetus was never tested. Had I known more then, I would have insisted on it.
I am now 41 1/2 and have no been able to get pg again and they found I have a chromosomal abnormality as well.

As for the HSG, I had onw in June and I am 1 out of a small percentage of girls who had a painful one. Not unbearable, but pretty sharp pain that lasted all of 3-4 minutes. Most girls say it is no more than bad period cramps.

Good luck with everything.

I had both the HSG & uterine biopsy. Neither one of them was over the top painful. The HSG was uncomfortable for about 15 seconds...and even less for the biopsy. I don't recall bleeding at all.

You will be fine! Keep your mind in a positive train of thought--that this will all help you have a successful pregnancy in the future. It's all so worth it!!!

Thank you all so much. I was a little scared bc I have never had any female problems my whole life. No cysts, fibroids, nothing- and I know that i'm lucky bc lots of women do. I just never had to test for anything but a pap. I'm not so nervous anymore!

Thanks again and have a happy 4th!
