First cervical ultrasound check at 19 weeks too late?

Hi - I’m 13 weeks pregnant with didi twins and my anatomy scan is scheduled for 19 weeks. I keep seeing online that some OBs start cervical checks at 16 weeks and every two weeks thereafter. Mine is planning on just doing it at 19 weeks and 4 weeks after.

Should I push for more frequent checks? I don’t want the window for a cerclage to close if we check too late, but also don’t know if I’m being unreasonable.

Thanks!

Looking for others experiences on if the answer to their miscarriages was silent endometriosis. We have had three miscarriages (1 blighted ovum, 7w euploid MMC, and 7w euploid MMC after lupron depot). All testing has been normal except my Receptiva was 3.9/4.0.

I’m negative for endometritis and took heparin/neupogen with the most recent miscarriage. Normal hysteroscopy. My doctor is out of ideas and I have a lap scheduled for next week. I’m also on the waitlist for an RI though we will likely do another transfer after my lap without being established with an RI due to timing. Going to complete Pregmune in the interim.

I’m not sure if endo is the reason for my miscarriages since they are losses after heartbeat is detected (vs chemicals). But I still want to move forward with the lap in case it is.

Has the lap for endo been the missing piece for anyone else with early miscarriages or am I likely wasting my time? My RE thinks the lap is unlikely to help (though he is also out of ideas…)
