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?
