Doctor appointment and green light to start again

This last Wednesday I had a doctor appointment with my Fertility OB, Dr. Hijano. We were nervous as to what would happen… Would everything be OK? Would he send us for a whole new round of tests? Would he want to pause treatment? Would our new circumstances affect the process?

My DH got offered a new position (same company) in London, so we are moving to London at the end of February which is exciting and also scary do to all the implications this new situation has and will have. More on this soon…

Doctor reviewed all paperwork I had from my hospital discharge, D&C, blood tests and biopsy and said there was nothing that we could have done to prevent it. He explained all about miscarriage in first trimester and this being my first miscarriage there was no reason to do an in-depth study of the case as it was not considered a medical issue yet. He said that if it was to happen again or I was having repeated miscarriages (at least two) then they would start more in-depth studies as to find the cause.

Doctor did an ultrasound to check everything was back to normal and everything was just fine. He told me that I ovulated and I should be having my period in the following week.

We asked the doctor how long should we wait to start trying again, he said we shouldn’t wait, we could start straight away. DH told him the hospital doctor said we should wait at least 3 month but  he completely dismissed this statement. Dr. Hijano said that was the previous consensus regarding D&C but nowadays fertility doctors  say it is not necessary to wait. He said we could start with the hormones for a next round of IUI with my first period. That was good news…

We also told the doctor we are in the mist of moving to London but that we would like to keep following the treatment with his team. After talking about procedure and logistics we decided to wait until we find a house in London and things settle a bit before going to another IUI round. That would be at least a 2 month pause.

When I mention my doctor that I would be writing this blog about my experience with the treatment and life in general he offered to help me out with it! So nice of him…  

We left the doctor’s office with a new perspective and with a whole load off our shoulders. It was a nice day.
