No bleeding & still have pregnancy symptoms & I m taking prometrium . What do u advise, another ultrasound or proceed with d&c? This is 2nd miscarriage in 7 months, first was blighted ovum . What tests should I ask for? What should I do?

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Since you are already into 11th week without any heart beat, its better to go for surgical evacuation of uterus. There is no point in waiting for more time.
After D&C get a detailed evaluation like thyroid profile, TORCH infection, blood sugar, karyotyping of both you and your husband.
However, even after 2 consecutive abortions, chances of successful pregnancy is 80%. So be tension free .
Hope this helps.
regards,
Dr Nilofer
