incompetent cervix question

Posted by tresah on 16:54 10/10/1999:

I HAD A TUBAL REVERSAL DONE IN 1996,IT TOOK ME UP TO ABOUT 14 MONTHS AGO TO FINALLY GET PREGNANT. I HAVE HAD FOUR MISCARRIAGES SINCE THAT TIME, ALL SEEM TO END AROUND 38 DAYS FROM LAST PERIOD.THE FIRST MISCARRIAGE I HAD A D&C TO CHECK FOR EPTOPIC, THE REST WERE NEVER CHECKED. I AM CURRENTLY LOSING THE FOURTH. MY HCG LEVELS GOT UP TO 251 THIS TIME AND THEN SUDDENLY STARTED DROPPING.TOOK ME A WEEK TO START TO MISCARRY AND ACTUALLY BLEED THIS TIME. I HAVE HAD CHROMOSOME TESTING DONE, AND ALL WAS FINE THE DOCTOR SAID. I HAD IMMUNE TESTS DONE AND THEY WERE NORMAL.I HAD A HYSTRO DONE AND THEY SAID THAT MY LEFT TUBE WAS OPEN AND MY RIGHT THEY WERE NOT SURE ABOUT... THEY HAD A HARD TIME DOING THE TEST ON ME BECAUSE OF BEING ABLE TO GET THE DYE IN.. I DON'T KNOW WHY... BUT THEY SAID AS LONG AS THE ONE TUBE WAS OPEN AND I WAS GETTING PREGNANT THAT WAS FINE. AFTER THE HYSTRO IT TOOK ME ALMOST 8 MONTHS TO GET PREGNANT WITH THIS ONE I AM LOSING NOW. THE DOCTORS HAVE NO REASON FOR ME AS TO WHY I AM LOSING THE BABY. I HAVEN'T HAD MY UTERUS ACTUALLY "CHECKED" THAT I KNOW OF...I TALKED TO "SOMEONE" AND THEY SAID I PROBABLY HAVE TO HAVE PURSE STRINGS DONE ON THE MOUTH OF MY UTERUS, AND I HAVE BEEN LOOKING INTO THAT...AND READING ABOUT IT. BUT I HAVE ONLY HEARD OF ONE PERSON WHO HAD IT DONE AFTER LOSS OF PREGNANCY AT 6 WEEKS.. SO I WANTED TO KNOW IF IT WAS POSSIBLE TO LOSE PREGNANCY IN THE FIRST TRIMESTER FROM INCOMPETENT CERVIX, OR WEAK UTERUS. BEFORE TUBAL REVERSAL AND LIGATION I HAD 3 HEALTHY BABIES, WITH NO PROBLEMS.SO I AM A BIT CONFUSED AND LOST ON A ANSWER TO MY PROBLEMS. MY QUESTION ABOUT CHROMOSOME TESTING WAS I KNOW WE ( DH AND I) ARE FINE SEPARATELY, FROM THIS TEST, I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF KARYOTYPING CONSISTED OF COMPATIBILITY, TESTING TO SEE IF WE ARE "FINE TOGETHER " NOT JUST SEPARATELY... THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME..I APPRECIATE IT ..IF YOU NEED ANY MORE INFO JUST LET ME KNOW..
