So, Ive posted that I miscarried last week. Had a D&c last Thursday 10/1/09. Doctors office called me today to tell me I needed to go to the lab to test my HCG levels. While they were on the phone they told me the results of the path report. They told me that they found NO fetal tissue. What does this mean? What else could it be. Before I had my D&C they did an ultrasound, and found a baby that measured at 7w 5d. I know that my body couldnt have absorbed it overnight. What happened? The doctor is supposed to call me again tomorrow....
I'm so sorry about your loss! I had a miscarriage at just over eight weeks last year and the doctor said it was a blighted ovum. I didn't have a D and C but I saw it on the ultrasound and it didn't look like a fetus. She explained it by saying that some eggs are duds and when they are fertilized, they stop growing in an early stage because they don't have the genetic material that eggs are supposed to have. I hope this helps you.
Call your doctor!!! It may be that they missed the fetal sac, get your lab work done ASAP!
Is it possible that you passed the tissue at some time without realizing it? After a miscarriage, your body is reacting, as well as your emotions are so upset that I would think it's possible you were going to the bathroom and passed it without knowing it was even happening. Try not to get too worried about this. Go get the lab work done and find out what that tells you. Also, when the people from the Doctor's office give you information that causes you to question, definitely ask them the questions and don't let them give you the 'brush off'. They need to realize the emotional levels we go through and be more forthcoming with information, even if all they have to say is "we don't know, but don't worry about it, the lab tests will help us figure it out"
Reabsorption of fetus can be caused by hypothyroidism.
Check your basal body temp every morning with a mercury thermometer.(Go online for instructions on basal body temp and thyroidism). Most blood tests don't pick up thryroidism unless it is drastic. So it allows thyroidism to go unchecked. Check hypothyroid symptoms online and see if you have any. some symptoms are joint pain, short breath, agression, cold skin/can't tolerate cold, tired, depression, memory problems, heavy periods, thinning hair.
Royal Jelly and Iodine should be taken by you to help with fertility and carriage, and also your thyroid. Soy products create high estrogen which work AGAINST fertility. Stop all soy (including soy casienate, Soy extract, hydrolized soy protien, soy flour, soy Milk. Try to get chlorine out of your tap water which also mimics estrogen in the body and can affect fertility and miscarriage. Parabens in lotions and hair products mimic estrogen, so watch for those. I use Mercola brand (found online) for suntan oil that is paraben free.
Idoral is a good form of iodine that you can get online. It was created by a doctor and has both forms of iodine that the body needs. Increase oatmeal, (not instant, but old fashioned, which has iodine.) Also banans, fish.
