What is the reason for a normal check after a fetal heartbeat stops?

Patient's question:

A few weeks ago, my wife got pregnant, and I was quite happy because my wife and I didn't have any children yet. However, during the follow-up test, we found that the fetal heartbeat had stopped, which made me very worried. I checked the sperm and found no problems, but my wife is pregnant for the first time, and after the fetal heartbeat appeared, it stopped. Why didn't my sperm test show any issues?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help you solve your question. After getting pregnant, there has been a fetal heartbeat, but later there was a recurrence of embryonic arrest. The reasons for embryonic arrest are many and complex. A careful examination of the embryo shows no problems, and it is usually related to other factors, so there is no issue. This refers to the absence of chromosomal problems, while the quality of sperm and eggs from both the male and female may also lead to recurrent embryonic arrest. Additionally, certain diseases in women, such as infectious diseases, exposure to toxic substances, and disorders of thyroid function and endocrine function, can also result in embryonic arrest.
