I had my followup appointment for my D&C this afternoon. During the procedure, the doctor collected a tissue sample to check to see what might have caused the miscarriage.
Turns out the baby had two inversions on two different chromosomes, so now my H and I are having blood work done to see if we are carrying any underlying problem.
Doctor also told me that the baby was a girl. That was harder to hear than the chromosomal news.
So we've been told to prevent pregnancy for another cycle and by that time we will hopefully have the results of the blood screen and can go from there.
I'm so sorry suzv. I hope you get good news from the bloodwork.
I've noticed that doctors don't really think through things from an emotional standpoint. Unfortunately, they probably see patients who have suffered a loss a few times a day so they've become numb to any emotion that might be tied to it.
Again, I am sorry. And you can be sad for as long as you need to be. There is no timeline for grief.
I'm so sorry, suzv. That would be incredibly hard to hear. Please do allow yourself time to be sad. I hope that you get good news from your genetic screening, and can get back to TTC soon.
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.
((Hugs)) When we got the news about our loss she told us we had a son, I didn't want to know and I had a really hard time with excepting that. For some reason DH knew it was a boy from the beginning and he was devastated that he was right and that he may never get a chance to have a son again.
