hi there, I am going through my 2nd m/c in 6 months. the first one ended in a d&c.. it was our honeymoon baby after our wedding. we had a scan at 8wks which showed baby had stopped growing around 5wks..
This time around we had a scan last thursday which showed a nice strong heart beat 176 beats per min... and then Monday night off to hospital we went, with cramping and red bleeding (i had brown spotting throughout both of these pregnancies). Tuesday morning we went and had a scan.. our babies heart had stopped beating. I was devastated!!! Then just after lunch the loss of my baby happened... it was a horrible experience.. the strongest cramping and such a huge loss of clots etc. I am still getting terrible cramping and fairly heavy bleeding.. i went to the doctor today and he is sending me for another scan on monday if the bleeding hasn't backed off, to make sure my body has done its job properly this time around. I am hoping that I don't have to have another d&c - it was such a scary experience.

DH and I would like to start ttc again straight away. But.. we are thinking of telling family that we are having a break - we just dont want to deal with any outside pressure.. trying for a baby is meant to be a happy experience and I am starting to hate sonographers.. they are, always, the bearers of bad news

Oh, I should mention I have a healthy 9yo son and when he was 10mths old i had my first m/c - so I have had 3 all up

I am thinking of getting testing done.. can anyone suggest who i should ask for a referral for... an OBGYN or a FS?? who would be best to help.. or would my gp be best?
What testing would be best... and any advice when we start ttc again?

Thanks everyone for your help.
