After my 3rd miscarriage I am seeking guidance from others. When I go back to the doctor, what kinds of things do you suggest I ask about: genetic testing, immune systems issues, etc? I may get an appt with the doctor this week for a uterus XRAY and if there is anything you think I should ask, please suggest it. THX

if i were you, i'd ask about their opinion on using progesterone to prolong/protect pregnancy. there are many conflicting opinions out there on this even though it's very commonly used on us. i guess clotting disorders probably falls under "immune system issues", but i might ask separately about it just to show you mean business. i think thyroid tsting is pretty standard, even though the books now say it's not been proven related to miscarriage. my fertility dr. also wanted my prolactin level measured. and i plan to ask him at next visit about the MTHFR gene that may be related to recurrent miscarriage. that's all i can think of. oh yeah, one person here got cultured for mycoplasma and ureaplasma, but there's a lot of controversy on that too. one more thing, i just remembered that they made me do a big STD screen when i started this process, so if you think you're at risk for a hidden STD, then be right upfront about that. good luck!! hope you get some answers.

After my second miscarriage, I got an ultrasound to check for uterine abnormalities. They also did blood work to check for anything off in that area. Everything came back normal, so no answers for me. I found my best information came from consulting a naturopathic doctor. Food for thought in case your regular doc says your completely normal.
