Update: blood clot/polyp?

[feisty]

Just got out of my follow-up follow-up ultrasound.  I took the cyrotek last week and while I didn't think there was much bleeding at all, it seems that I no longer have any retained product in my uterus.  (Maybe not much bleeding since I had already passed most?)


They did however see something on my uterine lining, they thought either a blood clot or a polyp.  They want to wait 2 weeks, do another scan and see if its there.  If at that point, it is - then I would have a D & C, and I think from that be able to tell what it was. 

The dr recommended not TTC for 3 regular cycles and also said that we could call insurance to do some testing about recurrent loss but that most insurances wouldn't cover until 3 losses (we have had two).  And that if there is a polyp that could also be the cause, so to wait and see from that.

Anyone want to share any experiences with polyps/blood clots/D & C, or just give me T & P that things will right themselves and it will be over with finally?

I don't have any experience with polyps or blood clots but I've had a D&C before due to MMC. After the D&C we were told to wait 2 cycles before trying again because your body needs to recover. FX that everything looks okay on your next scan so you don't need the D&C. (hugs)

Just wanted to say that I'm praying for you.

feisty, I am sorry you are still dealing with all of this. For this last loss, I was kind of the opposite from you...
We started with a D&C....it was really much easier than I expected...I got super dizzy from the anesthesia, but other than that, physical recovery was easy. I never took any pain meds, and I was up and around as much as I could emotionally handle by the next day. If I were in the same situation again, I'd go ahead with the D&C again.

At my 6 weeks post op appt, they saw what they believed was a clot. They gave me medicine to take to get rid of it and while I never really bled with the meds, my HCG levels went to 0 so they feel it was a clot and the meds took care of it.

continued T & P for you, that things resolve so you can start healing and move on to the next step of your journey.

I don't have any experience or advice but wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you and I'm so sorry that you're dealing with this.

Thanks everyone.

unringthebell, Yes, after doing more research, I think I will ask to be referred out to a specialist (RE?) I dunno, who does that type of stuff for more testing etc. If they still see something at follow up
