  5. Hello, I underwent a D&C procedure after missing an abortion in 2.5 months. Could you kindly inform me of the tests needed going forward to ensure a trouble-free pregnancy the next time? Thank you, Dr., but I learned that an ultrasound should not be performed before 8 weeks. In my case, it was performed in 10 weeks, but the embryo had ceased growing in 6 weeks and 5 days. At what point in the pregnancy should the first ultrasound be performed?

Have a query?

After a missed miscarriage and Dilation and curettage, most women do not need extensive tests unless there are repeated losses. Basic evaluation may include thyroid levels, blood sugar, hemoglobin, and sometimes infection screening; your doctor may add more tests if needed. For the next pregnancy, the first ultrasound is usually done around 6?8 weeks to confirm heartbeat and growth?earlier scans can be done if there are symptoms or concern. In your case, growth stopping at 6+5 weeks is unfortunately common in early loss and not related to scan timing. Plan early antenatal checkup next time and start folic acid before conception for better outcomes.
