Hil ~ I feel you. With my 16 wk m/c initially they thought it was ectopic. I went in for two early u/s to show no h/b. Then they did betas and it rose exactly the minimal amount they want it to (60%). Then we finally found a hb. And out of the blue at my 16 wk check up no hb. We thought we were good but it's amazing how stressful it was leading up to that point.

You're a brave woman. I wouldn't do a D&C like that but after I got my first D&C I got a little tattoo for the bebe and it hurt like hell but not as much as I hurt inside. Thats what I kept focusing on. Theres a song called "Move Along" and I keep playing it and it helps me to keep looking ahead. Another baby WILL happen for me and I'm sure the rest of us one day... it's the waiting that stinks!

Stacy ~ I'm so sorry we are in another due date loss thread together. I really thought we'd get through this pregnancy without an complications. I hope that the choromosomal testing gives you some insight as to what is going on. Do you think you have Hashimoto's? They can test for the antibodies. I think I'm going to have my MD check. I want all possible tests she can order. When are you given the go ahead to start again?

AFM ~ Well I kinda explained stuff already but I'll start from the beginning. I started spotting Monday night and it never really turned into anything. I've had a HORRIBLE sinus infection with lots of coughing and a very sore throat. I called my MD on Tuesday morning to let her know about the spotting and the sinus infection. She ordered me a Zpack to start taking and reminded me if I needed to overnight Tuesday to call the MD on call if need be. So I had to have nothing by mouth after midnight so I took a ton of 12 hr meds and Tylenol to hopefully last me into the D&C. In the middle of the night I was coughing my head off (thank you post nasal drip!). I then sneezed around 230, still unable to sleep from coughing and all of a sudden I had this HUGE gush. I was like "Oh sh*t"... got up real fast went into the bathroom and just sat on the loo thinking OMG this is so happening... right now. I finally composed myself enough to get up, clean up myself and the nasty mess on my floor (thank you hardwood!). I went in to call the MD... the answering service was ever so nice to ask "When is your EDD?" I started crying and told him I am miscarrying (thinking he was a big jacka**). The MD called me back and told me to take three ibuprofen for the intense cramping. I had another coughing spell but beforehand was smart enough to go to the BR and passed another clot. My DH was up the whole time just watching me in horror feeling helpless. Finally, the bleeding had pretty much stopped except for a bit of spotting and my DH got me a hot water bottle and I was able to sleep some from about 5 am till 8 am. We got up and first thing I told my MD is I don't think we're going to be doing a D&C. She was completely shocked, saying the body doesn't usually react so fast (my DH said my body was p*ssed). So we did the u/s beforehand and found only one little clot left that I'm thinking is going to pass soon by my cramping. Then she pat me on my rear (not literally thank goodness) and said see you in two weeks. At that time we'll do testing and go from there. I told her I kinda hope they find something on the repeat loss testing so we can ideally fix it and move on. She's going to test my DH too to see if it's anything chromosomal. I doubt it since we do have my DD.

So for now I'm taking my head off TTC and focusing on myself. I have the next week off from work (I don't go back till not this Sunday but the next). Then I work my 3 days a week and am off to visit all my family in Indiana). I think it'll be a good chance to heal. Last time it took me a while to really start to get it all out. I'm trying to let it flow as it comes this time around. I don't think though after a m/c that you're ever completely healed. There is always a little piece of you that is missing.

Good luck Jenn & Hil. I hope everything has gone well for you Hil and will go well for you Jenn. Please update us soon.
