Is fetal heartbeat followed by fetal demise due to maternal reasons?

Patient's question:

I have been trying to conceive with my partner for a year, and finally got pregnant. Now, after finally having a fetal heartbeat, when I went to the hospital for a follow-up check, the doctor said it had stopped developing. Is it a maternal cause after the heartbeat appears and then stops?

Doctor's answer:

According to your situation, after the fetal heartbeat appeared, there was a miscarriage, the most common main reason is that the female progesterone is too low, leading to fetal demise. Low progesterone is related to the mother's body and luteal function insufficiency. Before getting pregnant again, you must undergo a comprehensive pre-natal and reproductive health check-up to ensure that the miscarriage does not happen again. Both partners must actively cooperate. Low progesterone is related to the mother's body and luteal function insufficiency.
