Several people have asked me if I have had my post D&C blood work up yet, and the answer to that is: this Thursday. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to do it this cycle, things were a little goofy timing wise, but it all worked out and I am able to get into the doctor at the right time in my cycle for the work up.
They will be checking my post ovulation progesterone level. The doctor wants to take a look at my progesterone level while not pregnant to see if I have a problem that is not pregnancy related. I have a family history of progesterone problems, so if I have it too, the doctor can then decided ahead of time when he wants me to start the progesterone in relation to getting pregnant. I may have to take the shots or the pill before I conceive, as it is most helpful at that point, which I learned when I went on it with my last pregnancy, usually by the time you start bleeding it is to late for the progesterone pill.
So we all want to be prepared next time, and while the side effects of the progesterone are no fun, it pails in comparison to having a healthy full term pregnancy. I should hopefully be able to get the results the next day, and I hope to get the results of the pathology from my loss. I am sure they didn't find anything important since I never was called with the results, but I know they ran tests since we got a bill for it. If nothing it will just confirm it was a random chromosomal occurrence or a progesterone issue.
That's all for now!
