Sorry to hear about your loss. Don't worry - A follow up scan is a good idea. I didn't get one and I wish I had.

My mc was at 12-13 wks when they realised there was no heart beat on scan. I waited a while to see if things happened by itself, but it didn't so I had medical management. My bleeding carried on for a few weeks, but they had told me it could last 6 weeks, so I didn't think anything of it.

Then the bleeding got really heavy and I passed 'tissue'. I had to go in to hospital and a scan revealed 'products of conception' still left behind. So then I had to have a d&c (which was about 6-7 weeks after finding out I had mc'd!).

So basically, what I am trying to (rather long-windedly) say, is that I wish they did routine follow up scans here!!!

Good luck

Hi thanks for all your replies, i went for scan yesterday.

The reason for scan was that they thought i had a cyst on my left ovary but needed to rescan to check it. Turns out i don't which i am really happy about. The lady who scanned me checked both overy and uterus and said everything looks healthy and no problems

It actually feels good to have been scanned and know that everything is in good working order, i had fears that there was something wrong with me and that is why i had the m/c. I know that sounds silly, but you just think why me? is there something wrong with me?

to you all

I thought that to start with....what did I do? What's wrong with me? etc

But as I read more about miscarriages, it really does seem that the commonest reason is that the body realises there is a genetic problem and doesn't carry on the baby's development.

And if I am really honest, I don't think that's a bad thing. It's just a sad thing.

I had a cyst on my ovary after my miscarriage which they spotted when they found the retained products. I had another scan after to check that 2 months later and it had gone. SO the body sorts itself out quite well if just left alone sometimes!

I am glad your scan was ok and good luck for your next BFP...
