Pregnancy becomes more difficult and dangerous after 35 for both mother and child. Do you know that you are ovulating? Are you trying to conceive on the most fertile days of your cycle?

I don't know when i am ovulating because after the misscarrage i have had irregular periods. That is why i can't get pregnant.

I am not really worried about it being dangerous or difficult. My grandmother had my aunt at 45 and there are a couple of family members that have had their childeren after 35 and they were o.k.

I just want to know why my period is irregular after the misscarrage. I have always been regular and I have never had problems with my period.

Today I have a GYN appt. I need to know what is going on.
I really want to get pregnant.

Hmmm...I wonder if the miscarriage could have caused an imbalance in your hormones. I'd suggest that you ask for a diagnostic exam to check out the hormone levels in your body, and even take a look at the endocrine glands (thyroid for example). Please let us know how it goes and what's the diagnosis...it could help someone else in the same position!

Also, have you looked into ovulation predictor kits?

I have had my hormones checked, everything is fine.
I went to my gyn yesterday. he wants to run some more tests.
He wants to do a Pelviscopy, D&C or a hysteroscopy.

I get to decide what procedure I want done first. I am so scared. Anything involving surgery scares me. What I don't understand is that he found a cyst on my right side. he doesn't know if it's blocking my tubes or if it's actually on my right ovary and I get pain on my left side not my right side.
He said that some women get scar tissues from a c-section he thinks that it could possibly be scar tissues blocking my tubes. He also suggested that my husband should have a complete semen analysis done. I don't know!
what shuld i do first?

Hey beeky, Well it seems like you getting close to understanding the cause. These seems like major procedures.

It seems like it would make sense to schedule the D&C first to make sure that the fetus has been completely removed. And then, you might go in for the pelviscopy.

A pelviscopy, or pelvic laparoscopy , is a surgical procedure that examines and treats pelvic organs through a small surgical viewing instrument (laparoscope) inserted into the abdomen at the navel. IT's usually outpatient and takes a little over an hour, and they will give you general anaesthesia.

I'm not sure what a hysteroscopy is ... is there another name?

Hysteroscopy
Examination Overview

Hysteroscopy is a diagnostic and surgical procedure that makes examining the inside of the uterus possible without making an abdominal cut (incision). During hysteroscopy, a lighted viewing instrument called a hysteroscope is inserted through the vagina and cervix and into the uterus. Treatment can also be done through the hysteroscope during the same procedure.

Hysteroscopy usually takes 30 to 45 minutes and is done as an outpatient procedure. General anesthesia is usually used, although local or spinal anesthesia can be used instead. You should not eat or drink for at least 4 to 8 hours before having the test. A gynecologist or surgeon performs the procedure.

The uterus is filled with a fluid, such as normal saline or glycine. The hysteroscope is inserted through the cervix into the uterus so the inner surface of the uterus can be examined. Hysteroscopy can locate the cause of bleeding for many women.
Why It Is Done

Hysteroscopy is used both to diagnose and treat abnormal vaginal bleeding. If areas of bleeding are found during the procedure, the tissue may be destroyed by laser beam or electric current (electrocautery) or surgically removed at the same time.

Hysteroscopy is done to:
Locate and evaluate the cause of uterine bleeding, such as uterine fibroids, when blood loss is severe.
Confirm a diagnosis before starting treatment with medicines that have significant side effects, such as danazol or a gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue (GnRH-a).
Results

I don't know why he would like me to have a D&C, I had a spontaneous miscarrage a year ago.

It was too early in the pregnancy.

You should not have a D&C right away. If there is anything left in the uterus, the ultrasound should have been able to detect that. And i know they are deemed safe but some women have not gotten their periods at all after having one, so that should be the last procedure and only if absolutely neccessary. How far along were you when you had the miscarriage? It shouldn't have affected the tubes. I wouldn't think that a c-section would affect the tubes either unless there were any kind of infection? Were your periods fairly regular before the miscarriage?

I know you say family members have had normal pregnancies after age 35, but that doesn't mean that you are out of the woods. Are you willing to accept the risk, or keep a child who has down's syndrome or any other disabilities? Just something to consider...there's always adoption as well

I had very normal periods until the miscarrage and I was 4 weeks pregnant.
