Advice, Wisdom, and Inspiration...after a loss.
Hi,
I found out last week that my betas were dropping and that I was having a miscarriage. Today AF came and I am cramping badly and just feel generally depressed.
I want to do everything I can to prevent this from happening again. Two times is two too many.
Is there ANYTHING I should be testing for? What should I ask my RE at my follow-up that can help me get the tests I need (even if it's just for peace of mind).
I know I will feel better soon, but I want to feel like I am being as proactive as possible. Any advice you can give would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
-Bridget
