I've been confused about something since I talked to my doctor at my follow up appt. He said that they tested the tissue from my D&C and he said it came back "normal." I asked if he found out why my baby died, like maybe a chromosomal abnormality or something like that and he said that they won't do a test like that because the tissue has degenerated too much. I'm not sure I understand what they tested then. Also, why would it have degenerated? I've read others posts about having a miscarriage where their baby had stopped growing weeks before and getting results.

They always send some tissue after the D&C to make sure that they atcually removed fetal tissue, but they don't always do chromosomal testing. Ask your doctor if they sent for chromosomes to be sure.

I had a D/C on 9/21/07 and my Dr. said that after a D&C the baby doesnt come out looking like a baby and that they send the tissue to lab to test for cancer cause sometimes it can come back as some kind of cancer or something else.I hope this helps.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
