Hi Koala
Of course I don't mind you asking :\)
After our 3rd mc we had our blood taken straight away through the EPU. But if you haven't had this done already then they'll probably take them at your first appointment. Unfortunately the results do take a long time to come back (8 - 12 weeks) because of the chromosone test taking so long as they have to grow the cells. The other tests don't take as long but we weren't given any results until we saw the consultant after the 3 months. Your OH will also need to have some blood samples taken.
Apart from the bloods it was just a general chat really about my cycles and symptoms, my mc's and anything else that might be relevant (I had a huge list of questions!).
We didn't see the consultant until our results were back so were also told what the next step was at that appointment (trying again with high dose folic acid and aspirin). But as you won't have any results back at your first appointment they may just tell you to keep trying with the folic acid and aspirin even without your blood results back. It's a personal choice whether to wait for your results or to keep trying but we were never advised to stop trying and definitely wait for the results (although this is what we chose to do).
Is your appointment at a recurrent mc clinic with a consultant?
Good luck and I really hope your results come back ok and it's just been incredibly bad luck. Let me know how you get on on Friday - I'll be keeping you in my thoughts.
