Pathology

[Longbarn5]

Just wondering if anyone who had their pregnancy tissue sent to pathology got any useful results at all?

I’m sorry for your loss. My results confirmed I had a molar pregnancy but not anything else. They did histology

Yes I found out the baby was abnormal with tetraploidy. Helpful to know 💗

Hi both and thank you for your replies. Yes it is good to know if there was something in particular. Just waiting to see if I hear anything x

Still heard nothing but maybe there was nothing to tell. I was sort of hoping that may be able to confirm some sort of abnormality of the embryo so that it was likely s one off and tge outlook might be better next time but not actually sure they test tge embryo at all after a first miscarriage.

Sorry for your loss.

The standard NHS approach seems to be they will send the tissue for testing to check whether it is ‘normal pregnancy tissue’ after a first or second MC - it is only after a 3rd they will test the DNA/chromosones.

i have just had my 2nd MC and I’m going to ask them to do the additional testing - apparently some doctors will agree to this so fingers crossed. As a back up, there are private companies which will do the testing (not cheap though).

I hate the NHS approach of waiting until a 3rd MC - very traumatising and apparently there is no scientific logic behind it.

Thank you and I must admit I suspected that might be the case. I was kind of hoping they would do a little more testing but I am doubtful I will get anything back on this being a first.
