Well, some of you know my story, but I'll give a quick recap just in case....
Hubby and I decided to start TTC last June. We got pregnant right away, but that ended in miscarriage at 7 weeks in August. We got pregnant again in October, but that ended in another miscarriage at 17 weeks (baby had died at 14 weeks) in February.
Here's the thing:
My Mom had lunch with a friend of hers today who is a nurse practitioner (a nurse with even more training - can prescribe drugs and stuff like a doctor). Anyway, she said that I would be eligible for testing since I've had two miscarriages and have never carried a baby to term. All I have to do is ask my family doctor to refer me to the clinic about an hour away from here and they'll get me in. It's covered by OHIP (Ontario health care system), so I wouldn't have to pay anything. She said that they probably wouldn't get me in right away since I'm younger (hubby and I are both 26), but I wouldn't have to wait too, too long.
Here's my question:
Would you do it? Do you think it's worth it at this point or could I assume that I've had a couple rounds of bad luck? I'm scared that if I decide to do it, they'll find something wrong and then I'll know that this will never happen for me. On the other hand, I'm scared that if I don't do it, there might have been something wrong that they could have fixed so it doesn't happen again.
What do you think? Should I go for it?
