I managed to get into see FS. She seemed to be proactive and supportive. I have a bunch of blood tests that I need to have done. She thought I had had another chem as my GP had CC'd the HCG levels through to her. A week after D&C, my levels were 55. I let her know that no, there had been a confirmed viable pregnancy, we had seen the h/b.

She recommended a book to me which I have managed to purchase on line last night. She is going to monitor me this m/c cycle, I have a follie scan in two weeks, and said not to have a break, if I feel up for it, to keep trying. I was surprised by this as I have heard most Drs will recommend waiting for at least one period.

I asked about her treatment in case of further m/c - she wants to be textbook this time - but said she will do anything if there if another m/c. She also said that as soon as I fall pg again, that I should contact her and she will monitor me - there seems to be some study about women who have had recurrent m/c being monitored closely in early pg having more successful outcomes.

If I am not happy with her treatment, at least I will have had some of the basic blood tests completed before seeking treatment from another specialist. She always gives me a copy of the blood tests she has run.

As my FS doesn't deliver, I will be looking for a new OB and will certainly follow up on the recommendations given in the posts above. Thank you so much everyone for your opinions.

Best wishes
Snowie
