Patient's question:
Doctor, hello:I am 35 years old. In late 2003 and late 2004, I had two miscarriages, both around 40 days pregnant. Ultrasound examinations showed no fetal pole or fetal heartbeat. I underwent painless abortions around 70 days. After the second abortion, I experienced amenorrhea for 8 months (I have had two periods recently, which are still normal). I have had two karyotype tests, and the results were normal. What should I do? Thank you for your reply!
Doctor's answer:
You have been experiencing amenorrhea for two months now. If there is still no fetal heartbeat, it could be that the pregnancy has stopped developing. Alternatively, if you usually experience delayed menstruation, it cannot be ruled out that the reason could be a delayed fertilization. You can wait for about a week and then have a follow-up check. If the situation remains the same, the likelihood of miscarriage is high, and you may need to consider an abortion. There are also multiple reasons that could lead to such a situation. Before your next pregnancy, both partners should undergo comprehensive pre-pregnancy tests, and if any issues are found, they should be treated actively to prevent and reduce the chances of recurrence.
